#12I was _very_ skeptical starting watching the video, but you guys totally won me over by the end. I'm recommending the site to my wife now, who's an avid amateur cook.

#13Hey, this looks really good!
I'd like to make a suggestion for a cool feature: being able to clone someone else's recipe and put my own 'twist' on it. Almost like a git fork, if you want to use that analogy. You could also submit pull requests... you get the idea.

We had a feature – “create a variation”. Unfortunately the feature did not work well in the real world and we had to pull the plug.
Literature cannot be forked the way we think about it in code. My variation of the potpie isn’t simply a fork of the ingredients and editing lines. It’s “likely” a different style altogether and in most cases required the new author to write something ground up. We tried fixing this but the edge cases became too complex to handle.

#15Pretty! Well done. Can you let the recipe page be only about that dish? The "similar dishes" below it can all be collapsed if needed. Because many will just want to print scroll the actual content and not get lost in other things. Requests that'd make be use it: * special indian section (or others) * Special indian + vegetarian. add the greed/red dot and you instantly have a large audience. * I guess you could just a…
Actually we had the print version, which was more readable, and attention focused. That didn’t make it in the current iteration. Point noted.

We don’t have an explicit button but if you need the data we can export it for you.
Alternatively all the content is in hrecipe format. It shouldn’t be much work to take a dump.

#17Hey! This is really nice. Maybe I missed it but there doesn't seem to be a way to have the ingredients be proportional to the number of people you want to prepare it for. Of course, some things are not linear, and there should be a way to specify it (like the $ in Excel or Calc).
We want to build this as a platform exposing the data where you can write an app on top of this and do this calculations. Think FB apps on FB.
