Hey I was thinking of doing something similar for my app [0].
Allowing users to modify recipes is an awesome direction. Everyone has their own spin on a recipe and being able to share that back is cool. You should also end up with useful normalisations, this is how many people it _really_ serves, for eg.
You are also using markdown.. I went with slim (http://slim-lang.com/ http://slim-lang.com/ - "a pretty xml" in this case) for the source, but ultimately I'd like to create something markdownish but with extensions, for dinner/meal planning, unit considerations, ingredient variations, specialised tagging, etc. Something people can read and type without hassle, but is much easier to parse.
Cool work, there is a lot of fun things to do in this area.

- dpick 14y agoThat's pretty much how I got to the idea, my friends on I often make the same recipes and then discuss what we changed about them. This just facilitates the conversations.
