Are you a frontend developer who loves building real products from scratch - before they’re polished, before they’re perfect?

Recipe Empire - an experimental web platform designed to accelerate the global shift toward

Food systems account for nearly one-third of global emissions. Shifting diets is one of the fastest, most feasible ways to mitigate climate change. Recipe Empire aims to make that shift easier, accessible, and community-driven - starting with a platform where people can share plant-forward, culturally diverse, and climate-friendly recipes and food knowledge.
