FEEDBACK NEEDED! Please and Thank You! :)

Hello Daily Dish readers! Â I hope you’re all doing very well. Â Spring has sprung here in Maine and it’s been 6 long months since I last posted; high time for an update.

A reader emailed today asking about the recipe above; something I’d posted a while ago on Instagram. Â (Unlike this site, the “daily” in my DailyDishy Instagram account isn’t a misnomer!) Â ANYWAY. Â The photo above is a recipe I developed for a healthier low-sodium version of KFC seasoned potato wedges. Â They are super YUMMY. Â I’d like to share the recipe, as well as others I’ve been working on over the winter, but I have a decision to make first.

My husband and I have a good programmer friend who has developed a recipe app. Â It seems like a great fit for this site and my recipes, but we are trying to decide how to proceed. Â Although this website is completely FREE and will remain so, my husband and friend are urging me to offer new recipes through the app for a nominal fee.

The options are as follows:

1) Load all of my recipes into the app, including those on this site, as well as new recipes.

2) Make the app a “new recipe” database only.

3) Do nothing! Â No app. Â Keep this website FREE as always. Â No new recipe updates.

Since it will take some doing to undertake this app-venture (pun intended!) I’m looking for as much feedback as possible from YOU!

If you like my recipes and use this website, would you be willing to pay a nominal fee for new work? Â My friend has spent a great deal of effort building this app and I would have to pay him. Â This is not something I’ve ever had to do before and I take this seriously. Â If people are willing to pay me, I am willing to invest the time, and in turn pay him. 🙂

My thought right now is to start the app with new recipes only and offer a new release quarterly (4 times per year). Â The 4 releases would coincide with the seasons and would include recipes geared towards seasonal produce, holidays, and that sort of thing. Â I’m thinking ~ 25 new recipes per season or ~ 100 new recipes per year. Â The nominal fee for periodic releases would be $5 or less.

So that’s my app-proposal! Â What do you think??

Please feel free to offer feedback in a comment below. Â I would like to hear from as many people as possible, so even if you don’t normally comment online, please consider doing so now. Â It would mean a lot to me and to my work.

MANY THANKS!!

Best wishes to you all, Christy
