The Aquaself strips are a water hardness test for those who are curious (I had to google it)
Water hardness isn't measured from 0-14. Those are pH testing strips (aquaself pH Teststreifen).
Most pH strips I've used have only 1 color, I guess you need 4 to measure across the whole range.
Why github? You couldn’t just use pastebin? It’s a recipe! How much collaboration are you expecting to happen? Are you expecting people to file issues about your chili sauce?
I don't know why this is flagged. I'm honestly interested. Why not a bunch of other things, like Dropbox Paper or Google Docs?
But yeah, there’s not much else to say about a recipe on GitHub aside from the fact that it is on GitHub. Am I the only one that finds it strange? Am I taking crazy pills?

I'm not opposed to the idea, it just seems like a stretch of what github is made for. What did they select as the programming language for the repo? Junior devs struggle with git concepts, how will this catch on for mainstream recipe users? Recipes are nothing like software. Software can return expected results for everyone who uses it. But everyone can tell you a story of a recipe not turning out right. The hardware…
> The hardware for compiling a recipe is way too imprecise for the micro adjustments a version control system would be useful for. Not a bad point, I didn't think about it like that. However, I think this would be more useful to the people who are competent enough to implement nuanced recipes. Small changes in the recipe can lead to large changes in the food, much larger than the error between competent cooks. What i…

Wouldn't that be great? If you think about it, it's surprising how GitHub's potential as a platform has been solely used for code up until now, taking into account that pretty much anything that can be represented as text may benefit from its "social coding" features.
Lawyers have also been using github too for some time now. 2013 jduclos.com/notes/github-for-lawyers Previous HN Discussion on the topic from 2017 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13446275

I have recently purchased an instant pot the SEO content on recipes searched for drive me mad
By SEO content are you talking about the blogs where they put like a multi page story about how amazing the recipe is, and what their family thinks of it, and that time they went to a little restaurant in a foreign country and had something like X, and then at the very end a barebones recipe copied out of allrecipes or some other site? I've noticed those dominate in the past few years
That recipe crates the conditions for Botulism which is fatal. You can’t store low acid vegetables in air tight containers without boiling them or adding an acid. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botulism
These vegetables are not being stored in a low-acidity environment. The fermentation converts sugars to acids. You don't add the acid to the veggies. The bacteria convert sugars into acid and lower the pH. This is why pickles (cucumber) and sour kraut does not go bad.
Habanero chili is extremely hot but has a sweet, fruity flavor. I haven't tasted piri piri chili, but I'm sure this sauce is delicious. I'm kinda upset the chilis are deseeded, though.
I make craft hot sauces, and I stand by deseeding and depithing. If I want heat, I'll use a hotter pepper. Thai birds in particular carry most of the heat in the flesh, for example. The flavor difference from using flesh only is huge.
This makes a delicious sauce that, even without the seeds, is still much too hot for those who aren't chilli aficionados.
The idea of open source recipes on GitHub is so charming to me.
Tangent: I’m a programmer who currently works as a cook. Kitchens are operating systems and many principles from OS design are applicable if you want to streamline service. Instead of programs, the kitchen must run multiple orders concurrently and efficiently. Containers, lowboys, refrigerators and the walk-in cooler are different cache/memory levels and become smaller the closer they are to your station. Batch proce…

I'm not sure if it's actual SEO or just bored housewives/grandmas rambling, getting consistent visits from the same demographic and riding the feedback loop to the top of Google results, in my case most of the recipes I find (I'd say 80% to throw a number) seem original, and there's no way a bot can write all the uninteresting bullcrap they're prefaced by.
A recipe without 10 pages of useless, boilerplate SEO content?

Whenever I find a recipe that doesn't start like that I bookmark it. This is my gold standard for internet recipes (in Spanish): http://www.lapaella.net/receta-paella-valenciana/
