Very 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…

Thank you for the feedback. Will definitely release an update by tomorrow for this. Regarding selection of text, that has been a problem with flutter. I will find a way to make it selectable. There is an alternative. You can share the recipe or click print. There you would be able to select it. Or, you could share the recipe and it would be copied to your clipboard. I know that is not exactly what you want, but it wi…

I'm not convinced that the units conversion is right. The example of 2 Cups of greek yoghurt being 391.32 g. 1 US cup is 240 ml (or 236.5 ml depending on which type of cup you are using). The density of greek yoghurt is somewhere between 0.96 g/ml and 1.04 g/ml (depending on which website you trust the most). This leads me to calculate that 2 cups greek yoghurt weighs between 454 g and 499 g). The 391 g value is way off.

Hijacks the back button :/

Sorry for that. I am still handling cases in web app. This is built in Flutter and released as a mobile-first or tablet-first app.

I am fixing many such issues right now. Should be at par with the mobile apps soon.

Doesn't seem to work for this blog: https://foodwishes.blogspot.com/2016/03/tartiflette-french-p...

Noted.

This page probably does not have the standard recipe attributes that are needed for parsing the recipe.

I am adding a fallback mechanism for such cases. The text will be parsed using LLM like ChatGPT.

Should be released by tomorrow. Cheers!

Thanks for pointing it out. I'll look into it and fix it by tomorrow.

The app looks very nice. Small suggestions: Show the price of the premium plan when not logged in. Many users may not entertain an app depending on the price, and logging in shouldn't be needed to see it.

Also the ability to halve recipes would be great, sometimes you just want to make less.

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.

My kitchen scale only shows grams to the nearest integer anyway.

Thanks. Yes, makes total sense.

Will make these changes and release soon.
