IMO, What we need is a website that is a combination of something like Cooklang[0] and a git forge - This way you can "fork" ;) recipes to modify and maintain attributions and have a machine readable format to convert weights, calculate dynamic portions etc.

Does anything like this exist?

[0]: https://cooklang.org/

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)

This is a great idea!
