vuduchile 1,941 Posted November 2, 2015 When did everything become a "hack"? Everywhere I go online, there's a story telling me about a hack that can improve my life or use a product differently. Pillsbury dough hacks Halloween candy hacks Best ikea furniture hacks Health insurance hacks Micropenis enlargement hacks And so on. This term needs to be retired now. Otherwise, I'm gonna machete hack the next person who uses it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brad GLuckman 518 Posted June 5, 2019 I have a recipe app called Paprika. It can take a website with a recipe, strip it of all the bullsh!t, and make a nice recipe card for you with just ingredients and instructions. You can organize, tag, and rate recipes however you want. It is a fantastic app. The hack part is that i found if I take a website that blocks content without a subscription, for example new york times, and i paste the url into the paprika app. It shows me the website without paying.
