Got it. We're doing this and I'll upload more about our progress once we have a decent docket of recipes and makelists, and sort through several other details of the website.
So, I just saw a comment from another person and I think it could be pretty powerful. Are you agreeing that there should be some sort of "Copy & Edit" functionality for pre-existing recipes that you could then enhance/change?
I think that could bring about better enhancement procedures.
As for scaling portions/weights/etc. I know that we are working on something for this, but we wanted to start building a large recipe-based before building the tools for this. (We need more data for that)
So, do you think it would be a good idea to have a "Copy & Edit" functionality where somebody could copy a recipe (even one of their own) and make changes based on it?
I never thought about this, and I think it might be a brilliant idea.
You're totally right on †his. I realized that we need to put on recipes and give a better view. Also, apologies for the slow responses. I'm not spam, I just was asleep.
I think we're going to start uploading our recipes and improve some of the link functionality, plus change our search based on tags, so that we can make it all better.
This is a new product and we made a stupid assumption to show the functionality without recipes uploaded yet. But we realize now that the recipes are the thing that makes the functionality make sense.
So, you guys think that for continuing, my team should:
- upload the recipes we have before showing more people (several hundred in our docket)
- fix the links situation to contain the actual hrefs
- change the loading screen
- be more distinct on makelists
- Content-heavy and searching better enhanced for recipe tags
So, we were trying to display the recipe creation software but I realized now that we should upload some of the couple hundred recipes we have. I have just been mainly sharing this with engineering friends to get input on the software, not the recipes.
But, I'm going to begin uploading them all over the next few days. I am also getting involved with people who have more recipes to upload some of their own.
Oh well, we haven't uploaded recipes yet since we're just finishing up the work on the software, so that's why. We're just trying to fix up loose ends and things like the links... Once we get everything sorted, we have a couple hundred recipes we're going to put on the site.
We built a system to create your own recipes online, manage others' recipes, form makelists, think playlists for recipes, with recipes from the site...
Thanks for the input!
