Hey Guys, I'm the creator of Forking Recipes, I'll be happy to answer any questions you have and thanks for taking a look!
By the way, are you based in Chicago? I met somebody at the Chicago HN meetup last year who was talking about building this exact idea, and I loved the idea back then too. Are you that person by chance?

I agree with the other commenters: great idea, but needs a designer. By the way, are you based in Chicago? I met somebody at the Chicago HN meetup last year who was talking about building this exact idea, and I loved the idea back then too. Are you that person by chance?
this idea is awesome. The "forking" idea is great for recipes, but you need almost something like a difftool to be able to tell what's different and why? I think with a better UI and way's for users to interact with each other this could be extremely cool. Stick with it and good luck :)
I really like the idea, but as others have mentioned, it does need some design help.
I seem to recall someone put something similar on HN a few months ago. Any ideas who it was?

Very nice! I'd like to have the option (but not the requirement) to log in with oauth(2) from Facebook, Google, Twitter, etc. Your site will get a lot more traction if you implement that, I think. Most people (even non-techie folks) are suffering from account proliferation.
Actually, its been shown that the confusion of which account type to use is worse than the bonus of having options at signup. I forget who did the testing, but non-techies have trouble remembering which they used as well as understanding what it means to "sign in with..".
