Feedback over my cliche recipes idea

Yes, I know, it's quite cliche. But hear me out (or check the landing I've set up: https://keat.app)

For some time I've struggled with collecting my recipes, and so far google keep has been my place to go [recipe storage].

I have recipes all over Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, blogs, etc [like/save].

When I actually prepare one, I later "transform" it into simple steps + my own customization's [fork/copy].

When I want to give one of these recipes to a friend, I either have to copy+paste my recipe or search in which platform I had saved it [share].

In an ideal world, I'd like to plan my recipes but still be flexible whether I eat everything I've scheduled or not [programs].
Do I even need to have a schedule with time? I just eat 2 meals a day, why all the complexity in many different apps? [programs].
I'd like to have different programs for when I travel [programs].

I don't like to waste, and I can go even further saying that I want to consume less, this means buying only what I need (I have yet to stop with chocolates) [supermarket list].

I want an approximation of the macronutrients I'm eating. I do workout a lot, but I don't care to eat X amount of protein, I just need to know I'm eating enough (unfortunately I'm not an elite athlete) [macros].

And the last and my favorite, discussion based feedback for the programs. I want people to discuss science and bring me their conclusions so I can code them. Of course science is not absolute, so if you don't agree with any of the rules, you can disable them [automated feedback].

So as you can see, I'd like to build a tool for my workflow + a community

Features extracted from my needs

  • recipe storage: write and save your recipes
  • like/save: like other people's recipes
  • fork/copy: you liked a recipe? copy to your account and schedule it into a program
  • share: send links to friends
  • programs: plan what you are going to eat
  • supermarket list: get the items you have to buy from the supermarket, in and out.
  • macros: see an estimation of the macros per meal/program
  • automated feedback: receive feedback over your program, which comes from the conclusions made by the community.

Now here's where I need your help! My questions are:

  1. What do you think about the idea?
  2. Which channels would be interested in my idea?
  3. Shall I go to product hunt straight away?
  4. Would you pay for something like this?
  5. I'm thinking about 3 different potential monetizing ideas:
    1. Letting other people sell their "programs"
    2. Providing a free tier + paid features
    3. Pay to use (since the beginning)

I'm really excited to share my idea here, it's the first time I'm reaching out, I use to have a developer mind to build and see what happens, and I already failed to that by building a service for 2 years which no one used (the goal was to learn tech so I take it as a win, but I failed at the next part: sales + discovery). This time I'm taking a different approach: build a landing + ask feedback. So here I am. This is my landing: https://keat.app

Thanks indies for existing!
