#42This is incredibly neat, I love it. I haven't used it extensively, but would there be any way to easily export things so you can import it to say AnyList for shopping? I normally would just use Paprika for this, however the recipes here looks gorgeous. edit: Also, I forgot to mention but it's a bit annoying that there's an upper limit to password length.
You can use longer passwords now!

#43Very nice. I clicked to try entering a recipe, went straight to a page and quite liked the experience from there. I would rather "1 teaspoon" stayed on the left of "newt eyes" than the right, but I like that they are styled differently.

A long pending complaint. Been keeping it to the backburner for a while. SOrry about that. The auto loading stops after a while and becomes user triggered.
Meanwhile here is the link you were looking for http://cucumbertown.com/humans

#46Aside: from the vid, what are "2ons" of onion? I've searched and can't find it on Wikipedia. Google's doing it's thing of not letting me limit SERPs to those with the terms I want (yes even when they're in ""). I found a couple of recipes that mention "X ons" of ingredient but ... is it USA ounces to distinguish from "oz" as imperial ounces? It's not in the Dummies book, not on Betty Crockers list, not on Wikipedia,…
In the vid they say '2 nos', not 'ons' for onions and also '4 nos' for lasagna sheets. I'm guessing whoever typed that thought units were required and typed a variant of 'nºs' to mean 'numbers'. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numero_sign
Lol, yes, now you mention it ... oops.

#47I have been typing up all of my recipes off of my sticky notes. (Using a WordPress plugin called RecipePress.) My biggest annoyance that I thought your editor might fix is repeating myself.
Say I'm making spaghetti. In the steps I want to just type "boil 1 lb spaghetti in 4 cups water for 4-5 minutes" and have the tool parse the "1 lb spaghetti" out into the ingredient list. As it is, I have to type "spaghetti" twice. I know it may seem lazy, but when you are entering hundreds of these things it gets annoying.
Looks like the parsing code might already be there since you're doing it to the ingredient list. Anyway, looks miles ahead of what I'm using. I've been a Cucumbertown member for a long time but haven't visited much, looks like a lot has improved!

Ha! You have just suggested a terrific feature. I have no idea how we could implement something like that even with the parsing logic. I mean, we see way too many writing patterns on a restricted ingredient entry area itself. So imagining the multitude of edge cases makes my head spin:)
But will definitely give it a shot. We had something like this planned early on, but were too scared to try it out. And yes, we have been improving a lot on the site, please do come frequently:)
