can you parse from regular recipes found in blogs and websites?

I can, but not as well. All you have to do is highlight the ingredients then click the bookmarklet. I parse out your selection into the ingredients if there's some kind of delimiter in there (coded, like tags or line breaks). The recipe name just takes from the title of the page.

So I normally copy the title of the recipe into my clipboard, highlight the ingredients, then click the bookmarklet. You can then paste in the recipe title and you're good to go.

It works surprisingly well for most sites.

I really like the color combination and design you went with - clean, simple, and friendly! I do have suggestions for the sign up form: - The warning message is too long, you dont need to explain people that in beta version not everything may be working (especially if you are only targeting HN crowd) - Change "Facebook Addict" & "Online Hermit" and their description. I see that you are trying to give your product som…

Duly noted and I completely agree. I think that I was staring at this thing for so long I forgot that not everyone will know what's going on in my mind.

I just changed those suggestions over.

Thanks for checking it out!

Love it! This is something I've wanted to exist for awhile. I tried emailing you from the contact form on recikeep but it redirected to a blank page: http://recikeep.com/processContactUs.cfm

I have some partnership ideas I'd like to discuss if you'd like to email me at gabe.ragland[at]gmail.com

I like the design and snappiness of the site. I see it is a coldfusion site, are you using any particular framework or just something of your own?

Thanks, and it's all homegrown - I was tempted to try FW1 as a starting place, but decided that I did not really need to for this...

Well that's embarrassing - I woke up to a ton of errors from the contact us page this morning, so it was not just you.

Should be fixed up now, but I'll shoot you an email offline.

Thanks for checking it out!
