Erin asked if there was some way for me to put something together for us to track different recipes and meals we make at home. My first instinct was to set Claude loose on the corner of an existing deployed Rails app I have. But then I wondered if this would be a fun chance to try something like Lovable. And I'm blown away. In a single prompt, it had built exactly what I needed with recipe tracking, per-person reviews, search and so forth plus google oauth and email allow-listing. In a couple more prompts, I made a few tweaks to get a few nice-to-haves in place. Unbelievable!

Obviously this leaves out big questions of where the app is hosted, do I own and have access to the data, can I pull down the underlying code, etc.

Here is the index / search page:

Here is the show page for a given recipe:

Here is the URL for my own reference, but you won't be able to log in since you aren't in the allow-list -- https://branchaud-recipe-box.lovable.app/
