Hey Carter, thanks so much for this - loving the template. Just wondering how I could add the price of ingredients in the ingredient table, and have the recipe card sum the ingredient costs to give a total cost of ingredients for each recipe? Thanks!
Carter, with my 50 years of programming experience I can definitely agree that Coda is way better than Notion for creating and using databases. The filters, formulas and my favorite, the button are great. Thanks for all your efforts in creating and sharing this meal planner! Rick
I am not an expert but have been using computers a long time. I followed your meal planner in Notion but I like the Coda version better. Wow, I know it took you time to build these meal planner templates. Yet you chose to share it with us the general public for free no less. I really app it thank you.
I feel like you dump hours of your life into a program creating these then boom, another app comes out and you have to start from scratch. My fear is putting a life’s worth of recipes into something like this or notion and they decide to either phase out or start charging a wild price. What are your thoughts?
@@DonnaBreenC21 You could always look at something like Obsidian. Obsidian allows you to use markdown to create notes and workspaces. That way there's always a backup file as long as you have a computer. Even if Obsidian dies tomorrow you'll still have all of your files because Obsidian is just interpreting a basic text file. :)
This is AMAZING. Thank you sooooo much for this. Been a Notion lover for years, it changed my life, but as I grow, it's fell short in so many ways over the years. This, this is amazing!
This is FANTASTIC! I’ve been looking for a solution for my business. If I had seen this video first I would have known straight away and it’s the perfect example to get me started. I’ve actually been watching tutorials all day and none of them really clicked like I was able to with this! Thank you for posting this!
You just convinced me to ditch Notion and move to Coda. Your template is easy to use and allows for a quick implementation. This is so much better than Notion. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this! You're awesome! I was struggling to figure out how to do this myself in Coda and can't believe your tutorial was out there! Do you have any ideas about how to capture the quantity of each ingredient required for a recipe in order to sum them in the shopping list? For example, I want to cook recipe A and B this week and each requires 1lb of chicken and chicken is out of stock. My shopping list would show 2lbs of chicken. Thanks!
But how do we track how much we need of each ingredient based on what the recipe calls for? That's the #1 problem I run into when looking at nocode type databases.
This is such a great video! Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information ☺️ I am a mom who needs to continuously cook breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. I was struggling to find a software thank goodness for this video! I already have everything set up but I had one question for you. Every month I do what I call a restock day where I restock staple ingredients that I like to always have on hand. How would you suggest I separate the two list?
*stares at ceiling* I’m in the middle of overhauling my notion meal plan per a template. Sigh. Coda’s methodology, formulas, buttons, etc functionalities alone look to be well worth the change onto the platform. I’m def on the fence now

Thanks Rick that means a lot.

You can create a select column and set the ingredients to either staple or other.
Then just use a filter to show only staple ingredients.
So are you still using Coda? I liked what you built here with Coda. I'm curious to see more videos..
I noted the recipe planner does not have a place to upload a recipe from the internet am I not seeing it?
Nah no upload feature. Copy and paste is your friend here.

Im watching this 2 seconds after signing up for notion lol
Me too😀
Haha maybe I caught you at the right time to learn Coda as well.
