Thanks. Yes, makes total sense. Will make these changes and release soon.
Four years soon?
Haha. No, not this time. ;)
It'll be released by this weekend and I am focusing on this project completely right now.

I assume that (like most recipe apps out there) he's just trying to parse the json Recipe schema when it is attached. Most blogs attach them because it helps Google get them indexed. Chef John doesn't
You are right. I'll add a fallback to parse it using LLM.

#33Very minor point, in the grand scheme of things: when converting measurements from imperial to metric, I would be astonished if many recipes need more than two significant figures. When the recipe says "391.32 gram strained greek yogurt" I would not expect disaster to befall me if I only supplied 391.31g. A more major point is that I don't seem to be able to select text to copy and paste. I had to type out "391.32 gr…
For recipes, I prefer to use approximate round figures when talking in terms of metric and American customary. So, 1 fl oz is 30 ml, a pound of flour is 450 g, etc.
These are much easier to measure, scale, and remember. There are very few contexts where minute differences matter, and I don't think you're going to find a material crossover figure between those that want recipe help and those that are working on the kind of stuff where it matters.

#34This looks great. Something I'd like to see in a recipe app is scale is not only reflected in the ingredients list but also in the directions. The linked recipe is a great example. The 1/2 teaspoon in step 1 is never modified regardless of the scale of the recipe. Also scale should go below 1 (like .5).
Should the measurements be included in the instructions or just left out to avoid that? Instead of "add 1/2 teaspoon of ingredient", just say "add ingredient".
growing up, we had the old red/white gingham Betty Crocker cookbook where the scaled measurements were written in the book. the instructions never had any of the measurements in them. based on that, it just feels natural to the point of adding the scaling into the instructions seems overly complicated. just took a look at couple of other recipe examples, and they all leave out the measurements in the instructions.

Easily fixed. After all, you are the mason of your own JSON.

This one didn't work either: https://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-cook-moist-tender-chicken-b...

This reminds me of making a trip to a jeweler when I was And the numbers kept changing even when the scale was empty. I think I had a whole conversation with my grandpa about why that was happening, and we came up with "probably just variations in air/breeze around the scale causing them to change"
No idea if that's actually what it was, but it's plausible if you're doing sub-gram weighing?

#38No one requested "highlight the ingredient names in the recipe steps"? That's a top request from me.

#39I would be amazing if you released this as a Windows app. I would love to use it on my surface which sits in the kitchen.

#40- if you change to metric system suddenly you get numbers like 453,59 grams fusili pasta - its quite demotivating
- instead of grams I would like also tell me how many americano coffee cups more or less than looking for scale.
- I wanna scale down - if serving is for 6 people i want to scale down to to servings
