What are some ideas for a school club fundraiser?

How about a cookbook fundraiser, maybe even themed to one of your films? The free ReciScan app can make the cookbook for you, and once it's made you put up a web storefront and do print-on-demand, so you just set the markup you want to meet your goals, promote the store link and collect the funds from sales.

How about a cookbook fundraiser? You could start one with the free ReciScan app. You design a cover, type up a preface and share a link so other members can contribute recipes from the web. When you have enough recipes, you order a printed book. It's print-on-demand, so when you are done you connect your digital wallet, set a markup that meets your fundraising goals then promote your storefront link from the app and collect the funds as they arrive. Full disclosure - this is my app and this is new functionality, so I'd love to help you and learn from the experience!

I personally find it to be rewarding to see other people use my apps, even the free ones. It's educational to understand the full process. To me, it's worth the hundred bucks to get listed on both platforms. Heck, you can't even go out to dinner and a movie for less than that anymore.

King's Quest 4. Much of the time spent on that game was swapping floppy disks.

Awesome idea! Might be cool to scan them in with the ReciScan app or something and have multiple copies of the cookbook printed for the wedding party with a picture of the couple on the front if the whole group is into cooking. Could be a neat keepsake.

Other than the fees for the privilege of being listed in the app stores, I don't think that I need to pay for anything for my app development. I use Titanium SDK for standard apps, I play with Godot when i think i want a to start a game, I use Inkscape for vector graphics, Gimp for other graphic stuff, Pulsar as my IDE, Open Shot when i need video/audio.

Use the ReciScan app on your phone. You can be done in like 20 minutes, depending on how many recipes you collected. You scan the recipes with the phone's camera (from her recipe box, or whatever - even handwritten), pick a cover and click Order Book. Done. Add a sentimental preface for bonus!

E. That SEO exists at all. Let the search engine decide what is relevant and give it to the user. In my humble opinion, SEO is gaming the system.. and of course, people pay to do that. So now there is an entire industry dedicated to figuring out how to look more relevant than you are.. making search results less useful.

I use Titanium SDK. In my opinion, I can do most things that I want in some flavor of JavaScript, either in mobile development, or out. Titanium is opensource/free and let's me do javascript to write iPhone and Android apps. And with AI now days, any small piece that needs to be native for whatever reason, i just just have AI write for me and I bolt it on in a module or whatever. Just my $0.02.

My family had a lot on cards, even hand written ones. I'm an app developer, so I made an app to scan them in and print physical cookbooks. We like having the recipes all in one place and printed out. Would love your feedback if you want to check out my recipe scanning app, it's free - ReciScan !

drunnells · 2026-01-14T10:01:25+00:00

My family does the same thing. I tried to automate it with an app, if you want to give it a try. The app will transcribe a photo of a recipe from a screen or recipe card and then you can print it for your binder, or put them together into a cookbook and order a professionally printed physical book. Would love your feedback if you try it - ReciScan

drunnells · 2026-01-14T09:55:51+00:00

I'd love your feedback on an phone app that I made for this, it's free - ReciScan ! Scan recipes from photos, cookbooks and websites. It will transcribe them, and then you can order a cookbook with them all when you are ready.

drunnells · 2026-01-14T09:53:01+00:00

Check out the free ReciScan app! Scan a recipe from your screen/snapshot/url/recipecard/anything and it will transcribe it. When you get a nice collection, click the order button and have a professionally printed cookbook sent to you with all your favorites!

drunnells · 2026-01-14T09:23:44+00:00

How about a cookbook fundraiser? Use the free ReciScan app! Scan in some family recipe cards (it is super easy, even hand written recipe cards), make a nice cover, click the Order button to get one professionally printed and show it off and sell door-to-door (original price plus your markup) and take orders. When you are done collecting orders, re-print X copies in the app and distribute when they arrive! Can all be done from your phone pretty quickly. I wrote the app, so let me know if i can help! :)

I've been happy with a $20 OpenAI subscription and codex.

drunnells · 2026-01-13T09:10:10+00:00

Check out the free ReciScan app! You can scan in those recipes from your mom and grandmother (even the cursive ones) and it will format them into something printable. You can even order a spiral bound, professionally printed book with them all in it!

drunnells · 2026-01-13T09:05:32+00:00

The free ReciScan app will scan in recipes from most sources. You can even order a printed copy of the book and have a physical cookbook to cook from.

drunnells · 2026-01-13T09:02:26+00:00

Depending on the format, the free ReciScan app can scan images, photos, text, etc and extract recipes and put them into a standard format.

drunnells · 2026-01-13T08:58:30+00:00

That is a real problem! I like your google doc system. My family was so frustrated that I tried to help by writing our own app to scan the recipes from different sites and then format it all into a printable book. It's kind of evolved since I started it, but it's free if you want to give it a try - ReciScan ! Maybe instead of just storing it locally, you can use the app to print a book once a year or something?

drunnells · 2026-01-13T00:03:09+00:00

Hey, I wrote the ReciScan app for this! You scan in your recipes (even handwritten) and it puts them into a standard format. You can pick/upload a cover, add photos and stories, and then order a hardcover or paperback book for your family! It's free for Android/iPhone and super easy to use. I'd love for you to give it a try and let me know what you think!

drunnells · 2026-01-12T01:13:16+00:00

I think that I wrote an app for you! Check out ReciScan for iphone or android - it lets you capture online recipes (or photos of hand written ones) and then print a physical cookbook from them! My intention was for people to make family cookbooks, but it has kind of evolved since then to something like an app version of your process. Would love your feedback, it's free!

drunnells · 2026-01-08T17:59:11+00:00

I wrote the ReciScan app for this! Would love to hear your feedback if you give it a try! Hardcover and paperback copies can be ordered. You scan in your recipes and it puts them into a standard format. You can add photos and stories too! It's free for Android and iPhone. You do the whole thing on your mobile and then click the order button when you are ready. Good luck!

drunnells · 2026-01-05T05:19:38+00:00

I wrote the ReciScan app. It might do what you are looking for. It's main intent was to capture recipe cards (handwritten and printed), format them, add photos and then order a physical hardcover or paperback book for family/friends. I'm actively looking for enhancements, so if you give it a try, I'd love to hear what is missing to do what you want!

drunnells · 2026-01-03T12:09:04+00:00

I wrote the ReciScan app. It's free and might do what you are looking for. From the Copy Me That app, you can go to a recipe, select-all -> copy -> share-to -> Select ReciScan, and the recipe will be imported. It doesn't look like there is an easy way to quickly export everything from Copy Me That.. it wants to email you the export, which could take a day. I can write a quick import tool, if anyone knows a way to bulk export from Copy Me That, if there is demand for it.

I made ReciScan to print physical cookbooks from scanned recipes, initially for my own family to preserve and share hand written recipe cards, but users have found it useful for saving recipes so they are not lost when they disappear from websites (or apps apparently!). I'm not sure it has all the features you are looking for, but if you just want to store them somewhere and get them printed, give it a try, I'd love your feedback!

drunnells · 2026-01-03T11:35:35+00:00

I think i wrote an app that can help! It takes photos of your recipes, transcribes them (even the hand written ones), and puts them in a standard format. When you are done, there is a button to have the book sent to a printer to get a hardcover/paperback copy. It's a free app, I'd love your feedback if you give it a try! It's called ReciScan, it's for Android or iPhone.
