> I assume you are talking about the recipe cards not being links? It's tough to build a linkable card with links inside the card without using JavaScript.

The cards on the main page don't even have additional links in them. And for those with the save/cooked buttons (I assume that's what you mean by "links inside them"), why can't the main elements be linked? The bar with save/cooked would cover them up on hover? What am I missing (Touch interfaces?)?

There's quite a few interactions that don't work right now, even with JS enabled:

Middle-click? broken. (and if you add JS-handling, I hope that doesn't mess it for people that have middle-click assigned to other functions)

CTRL-click? broken.

"Right-click -> open in new window"? doesn't exist, because not really a link.

Again, thanks for the feedback. Right now, I'm literally putting together a pull request to improve this functionality.

Some cards do have links inside of them - they may have external source links or sticker links, and fortunately we just removed author links which will make this easier. I'm wrapping inner elements in hyperlinks which should fix everything that you mentioned.

As I mentioned, for the moment, you can use the card titles which are wrapped in hyperlinks.

Thanks for listening and reacting to feedback :)
