Thank you for the kind words and feedback. The search bar should be centered on all screens, but others have said similar things, so it sounds like I have some styling issues to deal with. Thanks again!
That's a great idea with a lot of moving parts, so it would definitely be a fun challenge. I'm currently working on a "pantry search" to help you find recipes with the exact ingredients you have on hand.
Yes indeed, I have both the original and vegetarian versions, they are outstanding. I would also recommend the "Flavor Matrix" which leans more towards theory and technique, rather than just being a reference;

I'm assuming you're talking about the general recipe search bar in the top nav? If so, I can't replicate that issue. Which OS/browser versions are you using?
You should see ginger in the ingredients list. However, the recipe search is based on postgres full text search, so it's possible something is being missed. I need to update the recipe search for flavor pairings to ensure there is an exact match for the given ingredients.
To me, the video has an optical illusion effect, caused by the bright light from the engine. The rocket is not directly over the platform, it’s actually off the far corner by about 50-100 feet, it comes horizontally into the platform and crashes over it. Meaning it’s not close to the center of the platform and trying to accelerate off of it, it was laterally moving over it from the side and crashed the engine into the barge, which kicked it up over the platform.
Can you not use AJAX through jQuery to gain this instant feedback? Do I really need to load an additional library to send and receive data to the server and update the UI, when I can already do that through jQuery?
This is an aspect of the HTML vs JS rendered page debate I’m still trying to wrap my head around. I understand really large and complex applications need libraries like Angular, Ember, React, and the like to render their pages with JS.
But what is so backwards and old-school about rendering HTML server side and then manipulating the HTML client side with a thin layer of JS and AJAX?
It feels as if the debate is between plain vanilla HTML pages and highly complex JS rendering, without any middle ground and integrating the benefits of both.
EDIT: Thank you for the responses. I’m genuinely trying to understand the pro and cons – of not just each framework – but of the methodologies in general, and your answers help.
This thing is half baked. It doesn’t work in IE 9. I can understand not supporting 8, but 9 is easy. In Chrome your back button doesn’t work. If you don’t click the arrows just right, they don’t work either. And in general, I would imagine it might be difficult to sell products without product descriptions.
I'm not sure why I would pay for this? Couldn't I implement something like this on my own? I'm assuming if I’m competent enough to build a quality single-page app, I could manage the redirects on my own.
Either way, the decision to give up has a natural way of finding itself at the point where opportunity costs are greater than the current work being done. Meaning, it’s probably a path you have to find on your own.
I think this is a nice alternative to the hideous window.onbeforeunload popups. However, the popup animation is very slow, I would say just flip the css display to block for an instant pop. And because the popups are at the bottom, they're easily missed.
I've actually used an excel doc as a backend, which wrote json to a server for an app to consume. And honestly, I would do it again over using a google doc.
We think it has a lot to do with our demographic. We’re a research and publishing company and our customers are for the most part consumers over the age of 35. With that being said, I find it hard to believe our demographic should be a hindrance, considering FB is massive and now spans the general population. Furthermore, there are tons of options and means to target our specific demographics. Yet FB leads have the lowest conversion rates seen anywhere and in general every attempt at using the system fails. (once again, we are highly experienced PPC buyers)
Either way, we’re fine spending our budgets elsewhere and understand that FB is working miracles for others. We’ve just always been vexed by the FB advertising hype and this report helps to validate for us that not all markets work for everyone.
