Automatic batch generation

submitted about 9 years ago by pirateofdw

I posted last week about making better software for the DIY community. A little update I have a team of about 5 professional devs signed on for the project. First meeting is this weekend :) At any rate I had an idea today. One of the cool features of the new site will be recipe iteration. The idea is to have a recipe you're working on and branch off trying different things and whatever work you merge into the main recipe. Rinse Repeat Profit. The idea I had today was what if you could specify percentage band for a flavor or flavors that you wanted to experiment with and the application would automatically generate a handful of flavor percentage combinations for you to try. You could lock all but one or generate percentages for all flavors. The application could also tell you if you're trying to make a batch that had a mix you've already tried. Thoughts?

I think it would be cooler if you were able to collaborate with /u/Queuetue on ATF. It's not missing a lot of features but iterations would be a great one.

Not too shabby.

Last I spoke with him about it, which was like almost a year ago, /u/daath said that recipe branching was in the works on ELR. Get it before they do!

i use a Combinations and Permutations Calculator for all may flavours, delete all the ones that will be shite (watermelon cheese cake and stuff like that) give the 5% juice a score for how strong it is then go through the list choosing which will be the dominant flavour. if you could automate this it would be perfect

Kind of like a trend analysis for common flavor pairings? That would be pretty cool and helpful for those problem flavors that need some help
