| I'm a big fan of good recipe sites and this one looks like a great idea with the ability to vote and especially to view recipes by foodie. Some comments * I'm not sure if the word 'foodie' is well known * I agree with the comment of the default fridge item - it's too busy * There are not enough recipies / foodies per page because the icons are so big. On a big screen they are a little overwhelming. * The grey / black main colour on the interface doesn't seem appetizing. Might be worthwhile experimenting with a few colours? * I love the layout of the ingredients - very easy to read. * I get question mark characters instead of the degree symbol. * I see on the Homemade Chocolate Goodness Part 1 that there is a comment (which I assume is you) to allow ingredients to be listed in sections - I think this is a very important feature because it makes complicated recipes easier to read * You have some escaping going on for user with profile 38 in the panel opposite the picture. See "At the end of the day" * Perhaps give foodies the ability to not show the preparation column in the ingredients list as not very many of them use it - or else if there are no entries then don't render that column. * The tags (main tag list) are difficult to read because they are alphabetical horizontally and not vertically * Would be great to be able to search recipes by preparation time I really like this site - definitely going to sign up and browse further! If I find anything else I'll comment again :) |
* Yeah, you're not the first to comment about that. I've experimented with some others, but haven't found one that I like yet. I'll keep experimenting. Any ideas in that regard would be welcome -- I'm a programmer not a graphic designer.
* Hmm... I see your point. But I picked the size very intentionally. I wanted them to be larger so I had room to include all the information I needed while still allowing users to get a good solid look at the picture. I can certainly include more per page, and I can experiment with allowing more visible on the screen. But I don't want to shrink the image size. 300px x 300px is exactly where I wanted it. Of course, I'm always open to being convinced if it's an issue for lots of people. And I'll certainly keep it in mind an experiment with it.
* Yeah, I've done lots of experimenting with colors. But so far, the white on grey (Black at .8 opacity actually) works best. I'll keep experimenting. Again, I'm a programmer, not a designer :/
* Thanks! That's actually a recent update in response to feedback, so I can't really take credit for that one. But I'll pass it on ;)
* Yeah, not sure what's up with that. Might have something to do with improper escaping somewhere. I'll go hunting for it.
* Sections have already been implemented in the add and edit form. Just haven't gotten around to editing the recipes that were added before sections were implemented to use them.
* Yeah, that's not the only one. I haven't given the admin privileges to edit user profiles yet. I need to do that so I can fix it. The escaping is an artifact of a bug that's been fixed. I'll make a note to fix that profile, thanks!
* The ones that don't use it have preparation in the "amount" column - most of them. Because the preparation column wasn't available when they were added. Again, some editing will fix that.
* Completely agree on this one. Will work on it.
* Hmm... advanced search is in the works. Will include that. But a lot of recipes are lacking prep-time, so I don't know that it will be that effective. Maybe I can make prep time wiki-editable so that if the initial poster doesn't include, future users can.
Thanks for the comments and feedback! I really appreciate it. I'll keep all of it in mind.
