Is there anyway to just download the highest quality versions of all the art? I would love to just get a dump of all the art and put it on a photo display on my wall...
How is this different then the app/website CopyMeThat? I use that app all the time on my ipad to save recipes from random sites to my own "recipe book"
I've never used CopyMeThat but I just looked through it quickly. It looks like a good app for solving a similar problem that feastgenius is solving. I think the difference with what I built is that it also calculates the nutrition content per serving. This was important for me personally because I use the app to search for recipes in certain macros ranges. For example, Finding chicken recipes in a macro range of (carbs:30-50, protein:20-40, fat:10-20). The search for feastgenius was built on top of elasticseach and in the near future I'll be building out more features based around really robust searching. I'll also be focusing time on building features for discovering new recipes.
I hope that answers the question :)
Is there any of these that can be pointed at a photo library on a NAS or harddrive, instead of having the application copy all the images into it's own location/database (which therefore required double the harddrive space)?
The static gallery generator sigal(http://sigal.saimon.org) supports this. You can configure it to include the original images in the file tree it builds, but instead of copying the images just make a symlink.
I wrote a shell script to generate thumbnails (including gifs for video) and a page with the thumbnails, file size, and a link to the original. Something like that?
