Great job! Seems to work well. I created an account, but when I clicked on the confirmation link in the resulting E-mail, it took me to a log-in page that said, "Sign in to api.onlyrecipe.com:443. I wasn't surprised when I used my sign-up info and got nothing but a Kong error for my troubles. So... looks like sign-up is not yet working.

Ahh. That's not expected. Please tell me if you were using web or the mobile app. I'll have a look.

Neat but as soon as I clicked it, a recipe for Turkish pasta came up and it hijacked the back button.

Getting the same here, macOS, Firefox

Hi, it's a known issue. I'm debugging it as we speak.

Should be fixed soon.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

My particular favourite of this genre is "Maple Shortbread Bars" from The New York Times which starts with the opening "Shortly after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001" https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1017089-maple-shortbread...

I haven't laughed that hard in a while, WOW. I genuinely wonder if people believe this or if it's necessary fluff to sell.

The purpose of the website is to sell ad space. The recipe brings you to the site. The story keeps you there longer and makes more space for more ads.

This is great, but it seems to be missing the requisite 5000 word backstory detailing the author's summer trips to their grandma's farmhouse where the recipe originated or the vacation to a foreign land where the author had a personal encounter with the dish's chef who, after much cajoling, revealed the secret recipe. Without the backstory, each recipe feels ungrounded and detached from time, place, and even reality…

TBF, the recipe starts on the first screen for me, so that's a huge improvement over 99% of the recipes on the internet...

apparently I've imported 10 recipes....but I haven't used it. But then it had a freakout when I went in and tried going back, and .... yeah. Somehow I'm stuck on a link that has another link to turkish pasta. Guess I'll wait another 4 years
