I love the open source model, and there's some good looking recipes here! Along similar lines, with similar goals, my wife and her dad have been building this as a pandemic project: https://www.recipereform.com/ https://www.recipereform.com/ -- I (who am admittedly biased) think it's pretty great. She inherited this style of recipe organization from her grandmother, and I love the formatting it of it, how clean the recipes end up looking and how fast / ad-free the site is. I've been trying to get her hooked on HN for years. I showed her this thread and maybe this will convince her to make it open-source. Any feedback would be appreciated and helpful!

Love the recipe presentation! Years ago I remember seeing a table layout on CookingForEngineers--but this is a significant improvement. One suggestion: Add iconography to indicate cooking apparatus. The gestalt of your nested layout gave me a quick sense of the prep and cooking phases, but it would be nice to see if I need to preheat the oven or pull out the backyard grill.

  That's great feedback. Thanks! I agree, icons would be helpful and could fit nicely into the aesthetic. I love that CookingForEngineers site. The original name I had suggested to her was Recipes for Engineers, since that was the vibe the table/nested flow layout gave me, it's cool to see someone else doing a similar thing.
