alt Hacker NewsThis looks great. Something I'd like to see in a recipe app is scale is not only reflected in the ingredients list but also in the directions.
The linked recipe is a great example. The 1/2 teaspoon in step 1 is never modified regardless of the scale of the recipe.
Also scale should go below 1 (like .5).

Noted this. Thank you.
Should the measurements be included in the instructions or just left out to avoid that? Instead of "add 1/2 teaspoon of ingredient", just say "add ingredient".
growing up, we had the old red/white gingham Betty Crocker cookbook where the scaled measurements were written in the book. the instructions never had any of the measurements in them. based on that, it just feels natural to the point of adding the scaling into the instructions seems overly complicated. just took a look at couple of other recipe examples, and they all leave out the measurements in the instructions.
