I love this. Every time I look up a recipe, I read the comments to see popular modifications and tweaks to the original recipe, and thought it would be awesome if those could branch off and become their own, with the most popular 'forks' floating to the top (even dethroning the original recipe, if they are indeed better). I'm glad to see this come to fruition!

#82You missed the opportunity to use the name GitCipes.
And the average visitor would end up asking themselves "What does 'git sypes' mean?"

#83Man, I had this very idea a few months ago. :-)
Re: Show HN: Github for recipes
#84I like it, although I think there are other organizing principles to explore. Seconded on all the 'fork' comments its not at all intuitive to a chef what you mean here. At present the top level abstraction is the recipe which you've sort of equated to 'source code' but when you look at something like Github or Sourceforge the high level abstraction is the 'project' and in the food world the closest I could come up wi…
Hey, at Fork the Cookbook, we're doing just that right now! It's one of the primary reasons why we said Search is Hard [0]. And we're working hard on search. We've also put a lot of time and effort into researching the licensing issues, as well as design issues: how to present certain things like diffs, and stuff. So if you like, you should check out Fork the Cookbook: http://forkthecookbook.com [0] http://theforking…
From a quick browse, I don't see any way to view diffs?

Hey there, it's not a feature we've pushed out live yet. There is code to see diffs, but no on the public facing UI yet.
The reason is this: We don't want to aim at the tech crowd (which is why you haven't seen a Show HN from Fork the Cookbook). The tech crowd knows what diffs are. We're used to reading things that look like this:
+ def function(var1, var2):
- def oldfunction(var1, var2):
It'll take time. Sorry
Re: Show HN: Github for recipes
#87This is awesome. I think it's a coincidence because the other day on HN someone said something about a "github for recipes". I'm not saying that to be coy or to be condescending, simply coincidental.
Keep up the good work! As an avid amateur chef, this could be fun.

I'm working on something in a domain not dissimilar to recipes, so I'm always interested to see different diff presentations.

#89Hey Guys, I'm the creator of Forking Recipes, I'll be happy to answer any questions you have and thanks for taking a look!
I just bookmarked a couple of recipes. It would be nice if the default name when saving as a favorite included the name of the recipe rather than the name of the site (particularly for those who want to bookmark more than one recipe). Think you probably just have to make the "" include the recipe name.
