Making a site/app that doesn’t suck

Ok so you know how every time you go to look up a recipe it’s a pain? I usually just click on one of the first 5 google results and then you get to the page, which is a pop-up nightmare and then you have to scroll through a mile of text to finally get to the recipe. Everyone knows this experience, I’ve heard 1000 people and at least 3 stand up comics make the same observation. So how has no one come up with a good website or app yet? I’m thinking like a recipe Wikipedia

Here’s my pitch. So I would make a site/app that is kinda like reddit in a way where you can make a profile/user name. The site would be as plain as possible and have no pop ups or obnoxious ads period. Just a simple search bar and a few category tabs at the top. Every recipe page would be white screen/black text and just be a list of ingredients and a short step by step instructions.

All the recipes would be user submitted and if they were a recipe they got from somewhere else they would be strongly encouraged to post a link at the bottom of the recipe. Then it would be an up/down voting system like reddit where the best recipes would rise to the top. Also in the ingredients/amounts section of the recipe users could add or minus ingredients if that’s how they made the recipe and they thought it turned out better. You could get like a user average and that would be shown in parenthesis. Ex: 2 cloves garlic (6 cloves-user average). So then all the recipes would be tweaked by 1000s of cooks, hopefully resulting in great recipes. I often check the comments under a recipe and find this happening anyway, like 5 different people will say, “recipe says bake for 30 minutes, but I ended having to keep it in for an hour”, so this could kind of stream line that.

Anyway does something like this exist? Hopefully it does could if love to use it!! If not, do you guys think it’s a good idea? Would you use it, and do you have any suggestions to make this idea better? Lemme know!! Thanks!!
