Does this not support issues and comments? If not those would be welcome additions.
There are comments (if enabled by the author). Not sure if issues will make sense? Would you be writing recipes collaboratively?

#92Is 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.

#93Earlier quoted context omitted.
My first thought was to remove "Vegan Butter" from the chicken recipe (or move it into a "Dietary Substitutions"), but then I realized my forked recipe would probably just be lost in the void. Maybe the goal of forks should be more akin to pull requests?
Seems that "Dietary Substitutions" could be a first-class data type. It would be a named multi-map of one item to another one. So you could create you own "Dietary Substitution Map" named "Nut allergies" or "Halal" or "Vegan", with butter -> canola oil, milk -> soy milk, milk -> almond milk, etc. Then you could pick the particular substitution map that you care about and avoid forking recipes unnecessarily and have m…
Interesting idea. I can think of a few ways it would get complicated pretty quickly, but it's probably 90% doable without too much effort.

#94The idea for this has been around for a for a while. http://forkthecookbook.com/ goes back to 2012. And its an interesting idea. Recipes can't be copyrighted and and recipes are generally derivative. The data is generally well structured, and fairly standardized (ingredients, equipment, instructions, photo, with optional fields for prep & cook time, servings, notes, difficulty, etc). But there are two primary issues:…
Yeah, it's interesting how many people have had the same idea at some point or another. I was fiddling around with Rails and AWS for a bit around 4 years ago and used the same idea for a tiny project. It's a bit like deja vu.

#95Is there a way to compare how it actually tastes? , These days I am baking cakes by watching recipes on youtube, the texture always comes correct and I use exact weights as described but the taste is somewhat lacking. It would be good if we can give reference to a local cakeshop for its similarity to the recipie
Do you mean can you do that in comments? Or are you asking if we can automate a sense of taste? The latter would be extremely difficult. Not sure I understand :)

#96Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but should the "What's the name mean" in the about section be "What does the name mean?" or "Whats the name mean?"
The first is "proper" the second is colloquial. At least that's what I thought.

It's not proper grammar :) Proper grammar would be "What does the name mean?"
It's written this way simply because it's a question I've heard a lot, and when people say it, they usually combine "what" and "does" and say "What's the name mean?"

The 's contraction can mean 'is', 'does' or 'has'.
In this case "What's the name mean" expands to "What does the name mean".
"Whats the name mean" is grammatically incorrect. :)

#100I really like it. I often look for a receipe with many likes online and have to read dozens of comments to adjust it...
For example the receipe of some cake where nearly all commenters advise to put 1/4 of the sugar advised. If you don't read the comment, chances are that even with a recipe approved by many people it tastes like shit.
I really hope this will grow and success!
