This looks great! Congrats on shipping!! I like that you have a scaling feature. => https://www.cinc.kitchen/info/features I know this may be too much to ask, but if you are taking requests, some basic nutritional info (ex: Protein content, avg. calories) might make it even more awesome for those of us tracking daily calories, protein (for atheletes etc). I understand things like sodium, fat might vary depending on h…

Good idea... Formatted to look like a standard nutrition label would be a nice touch

Maybe a button to order the ingredients from Amazon or similar?

Edit: And maybe a shopping basket in case someone wants to order ingredients from a few recipes.

Edit (again): And don't forget about letting people order the equipment too.

I'm a huge fan of the fact this does weight conversions (cooking by weight is now my favourite, and I've been looking for a site that is just weights, so this looks like a win to me :-) ). One note I'd make, though, is that US, UK and Australian cups are all different sizes. (and possibly others?) And from the one recipe I saw it looks like you're using UK cups? But, possibly not as well... Either way, it might be wo…

> Somewhat related, some sites call out egg weights too, and that might be something to try and do here too? Some technical recipe books I've used just specify the weight of total egg. Not that useful for a home cook though. For that matter, I'm curious what egg size descriptions is like in other countries; in Australian shops they're like condom sizes - I haven't seen 'small' or 'medium' eggs for over a decade.

Well it depends on what you're cooking, if you make an omelette it's not a big deal if you have too much egg, but if you make say a chocolate fondant than the size of the egg is very important to get the correct texture.

Is there a way to do pull requests? I'd like to go through and convert a few people's °F to °C.

No, but you can fork it for yourself if you want. I think most people that are writing fahrenheit want fahrenheit. However, at some point there will likely be a conversion ability for that.

It's a shame that units are not understood by the system. Once imputed they should be stored as K or °C and then displayed as the user wants
