About Paprika Sync

Paprika Sync is a side-project by Greg Schafer to make it easy to share recipes and recipe changes across multiple Paprika app accounts.

The paprika-sync.com site is not public, because the Paprika app's Cloud Sync API uses HTTP Basic Auth (meaning the user's email and password must be sent in plaintext), and I don't want the liability of storing that data for strangers.

But, feel free to host your own instance of Paprika Sync and share it with your family and friends that use the Paprika app. Then, you can all see when Alice adds the recipe for her famous chili, Bob rates a new lasagna recipe as 5 stars, or Jackie adds the perfect high-altitude adjustment notes for their souffle recipe.

Thanks to mattdsteele for documenting the Paprika app's Cloud Sync API.
