Yeah, thanks for the idea! I'm planning on allowing manual submission of recipes. I ultimately want Munchy to become a company. I have a lot of other innovations planned for the consumer home kitchen space and would like to see it through! Making this website a successful business is the first step for me to achieve that goal If you ever want to share feedback or contribute, my email is on my profile so you are free to reach out.

Hey! That's the goal. I will admit the database is small because I'm adding them manually but I'm working on finding a way to scrape recipes automatically. In the meantime, the tradeoff for the better user experience is less recipes

Hey jnsie, sorry for the poor experience. I'm still working on the product and it definitely is in development mode. Although this sounds unintended, this is currently how the recipe search algorithm works. Because the recipe does not include the ingredient "chicken breast", no results come up. However, multiple recipes include the ingredient "chicken", which lead to you getting a result. I'm working on developing some kind of smart detection algorithm that will ensure you're getting more results and a more accurate result page.

The product is still in development phase right now. I am collecting emails so I can reach out to people and get their feedback on the product. I'm considering removing that registration wall if it poses to be too much of a nuisance

Thanks for telling me about this (and sorry for the error)! It's working fine for me on ios but I'll have to look into firefox causing some issues
