  • No, don’t worry, I did not interpret you as critical. I just wanted to explain the mix of languages

    Sounds like linguine is the best substitution then. I feel like the slight flatness improves the consistency, and makes it grab more sauce

    It’s good that it looks ok on screen reader! I’ve made sure to have enough contrast all the way, with at least 7 in contrast ratio wherever possible. That way it should be readable even if the reader has cataracts, or the device is used in an environment with bright light

    Responsive layout has also been a focus from the start. People usually follow recipes on their phone, so it’s important that it works well in any form factor. I have a friend with a tiny phone, so if something isn’t responsive enough, I usually hear it from him

    A tip: If you press the amount shapes, you can see the amount in other units (volume if it’s shown as weight, vice versa, and weight if unitless like the lemon in the photo). I’m not sure how to make that functionality obvious, but it’s there

    A ton of improvements are planned, I just need to prioritize, haha

  • I’ve gotten very good at cooking by trying around 200-300 recipes from all around the world. Whatever dish you’re thinking of, I can probably make it perfectly and tell you it’s origin and related dishes. I’ve made a system of my recipes where they are organized by origin country, allergies, diets, ratings, categories and tons more, and all ingredients are connected to more information and other recipes where they’re used. I feel like I’m getting close to solving cooking as a whole by fixing all paper cuts and annoyances involved one by one
