It's my intention to keep the site ad free and tracking free. Currently there's no external javascript, fonts, or analytics. I'm using cloudflare, hosting images on S3 and am using IPInfo to figure out where people are located based on IP (so that I can show local sources of ingredients). If you're logged in, it stores your location once, and doesn't hit IPInfo again. I'm open to changing any of these things if there are concerns. I honestly just used what was convenient and hadn't really thought about them too much until this post. I also don't send emails out for anything and it's only used for password reset functionality. Feel free to use spam address and don't put your real name (good practice everywhere).

Also just wanted to shout out to some of the posts on HN that have helped me along the way.

@Simonw - for this, very helpful, and was how I built my search functionality - https://simonwillison.net/2017/Oct/5/django-postgresql-facet...

@35mm & @raunak - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32316604 - Is the reason I'm posting this ShowHN today, since it got me off my ass.

Thanks, I'll be around if anyone has any questions or comments (or if you find a bug - hopefully not!).
