| > I made an account figuring that'd let me edit (so I can view), but the protections apparently have another level. Thanks for making an account! You can only edit you own recipes, but I (the admin) can edit any recipe. I guess you tried to edit a recipe you liked, would you like a "Copy and Edit Recipe" feature? > So, are the components different files? Components are what CookTime recipes are made of. A recipe has at least one component, and if necessary the author can add additional components to indicate different ingredient quantities for different components. I have thought about having re-usable components across recipes, I just haven't given thought to how to design the UX for it. Glad to hear that someone else would find it useful, I think I'll reprioritize this. > I can't figure out how to look at the markdown. In CookTime there isn't a simple textual representation of a recipe (unless you count the big JSON object the browser sends over the wire.). The backend is a relational database of recipes, components, ingredient requirements, nutrition data, etc... > Power vs simplicity is often a balancing act. 100%, my primary user is my mother-in-law and I have to be extra careful to make everything easy to use for an enthusiastic retiree. |
