This looks promising and fairly well done, but it's lacking a few critical features IMO. The first obvious one is a way to Diff a recipe and it's Forks (unless I missed that). The harder and maybe more important one, is an issue that GitHub itself still hasn't figured out how to solve either. There should be a process for a fork of a recipe being able to explain why it is better than the original, and have the fork b…

Yeah, it's on the list of things to do. Once there are enough recipes/users it will also be useful to see the history/ancestry of recipe. There are already a few that are forks of forks. All the recipe data is immutable and versioned, so that will happen at some point.

A++ would love to see the diff feature :)

Looks like a more complex version of what I had created with imadefood over a year ago. Similar features, with the branching, etc. I've been working on an iteration into a slightly different direction. As it didn't pick up any steam. Good luck :)

As others have stated below, forkthecookbook, forkingrecipes, and also recipelabs. All do basically the same thing. I just don't think there is enough market for it. Certainly was a fun little project though!

Nice site! I look forward to using it in the future. One thing - when using lastpass to generate a password, it fails to fill the first password and only fills the "repeat" portion. Likewise, it fails to fill the username field for login.

Yeah, I have this problem with Mac's keychain on Safari as well. I haven't had the time to fix yet, but it's helpful to hear the same from someone else. Thanks.

Nice! It is clear you put a lot of care into this, and I am sure there is a bucket full of features you want to get to, but I have a big request. What I really want is one step beyond a place to store recipes. I want a meal planning site! I want to create a pool of recipes that we like, and plug in how often this week we will eat at home. Then outcomes a grocery list and a plan for each day. Maybe it even sees what w…

Hey I'm also working on this (separate from OP). In the meantime you might check out https://www.eatthismuch.com/ .

This looks like exactly the kind of thing I've been searching for; thank you for the recommendation.
