Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m excited to share NextMeal — an app I built to solve a problem I personally faced all the time: Saving recipe videos… but never actually cooking them. Most recipe content today lives inside short videos across YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. The problem is that turning those videos into something practical usually means: * Rewatching clips repeatedly * Manually writing ingredients * Forgetting grocery items * Switching between multiple apps while cooking So I built NextMeal. You simply paste a recipe video link, and the app uses AI to extract: 🥘 Ingredients 🛒 Grocery lists 👨‍🍳 Cooking steps 💬 AI cooking assistance I also added a distraction-free Cook Mode, offline-first support, cloud sync, and guest mode so users can start instantly without creating an account. The project evolved a lot during development — especially around AI extraction quality, account syncing, and making the experience feel simple instead of overwhelming. Would genuinely love your feedback, ideas, and thoughts 🙌
