Can search web for BeerXML Recipes #3

Open caseydavenport opened 9 years ago

caseydavenport commented 9 years ago

Allow user to browse other recipes from the web, or something like that.

You can import downloaded files currently (and also export recipes as XML) but it would be neat to have an integrated browser to download and import in one go.

Have you had many more thoughts about how this would function @caseydavenport?

We recently discovered https://github.com/stuartraetaylor/diydog-beerxml (BrewDog's 'DIY Dog' collection of open source recipes, converted into BeerXML) and I've been wondering about possibilities using that and the homebrew recipes we have in Biermacht.

@jayaddison hey there!

I haven't thought much more about adding an in-app browser, which is what this issue was about (should have added more info to the description).

It would certainly be cool, but you can import files that you download from the web today if they are in beer XML or beersmith format.

@caseydavenport hello :)

Given that you already have a database of ingredients, creating something along the lines of a beer recipe search engine might not be too tricky.

If we get time perhaps we could review what's available in https://github.com/openculinary/ and adjust RecipeRadar's crawling, indexing and search APIs to provide something that Biermact could use to search for beer recipes using brewing ingredients.

Edit: clarify wording
