It appears that the recipator website is down again. Does anyone know anything about its upkeep?
I'm a big fan of using it as it's web-based and not OS dependent. The kicker is that it saves my recipes as HTML.
I have a touch-panel PC in my brewery that runs WindowsXP Embedded and has horrible performance (processor, RAM, HDD...it's bare-bones). The web interface lets me load it in a nice little app I wrote that does my recipe management but also acts as a timer and does some calculations for me.

I store my recipes on my Google Drive and can view / edit them from my brewery, phone, laptop, desktop, work computer, etc. I have 10-ish years of recipes saved in this format, and I hate to move on. They're still readable, just not editable without the engine that runs on the server.
Tastybrew.com is similar but doesn't have the same create / edit / save functionality. BeerTools.com has some annoying quirks (like enforcing style guidelines) and I'd rather not pay for it.
I guess there's a chance that I could work some programming magic and write a front-end for the TastyBrew recipe calculator, but that sounds like a PITA. Is there anything else out there that I should look at for web-based brewing apps?
