HN discussionI am certain that several years ago, I was given an ad for exactly such a service and even tried it out, but I cannot for the life of me remember its name. It had some cute salad motif, and its users are named "chefs". EDIT: It was just named Salad. https://salad.com/ https://salad.com/download
