It's not called normie.cooking for a reason.

Simply add an email address for submitting recipes to the site with a note, that Github is the preferred way. Someone would need to volunteer for transferring these recipes to Github, though. This can be automated using a script, after manually checking the content of the email, of course.

Most webbrowsers have a print as pdf option when you try to print the page. Everything you want is possible inside github, if you disagree with a recipe you can create an issue, variants are somewhat not wished, they would add bloat if we got 10 diffferent recipes for the same thing. Variants have maybe a place inside the main dish as optional.

I just think there are 2 ways how variants behave in cooking:

A.)they are trivial, like changing the type of meat, you can make a chicken parmesan with beef or pork.

B.)they are big, carbonara is parmesan eggyolk starchwater white wine and guancale, making a variant with cream, canadian bacon and garlic is something ppl would offer at bad italien restaurants as carbonara.

The site clearly doesnt want type A of variants, they are just bloat.

Type B are not variants, they are basicly different recipes with the same Name, even then we probably only need a single recipe as adding cream to make it more creamy or using canadian bacon instead of guancale can be part of optional ingredients. So you could add to ingredients: 100grams of either guancale or bacon.

Comments would add bloat, server sided logic(you need a DB for comments) and even worse need someone to moderate it.

Creating an automatet way like @wups would fail without a user who controlls them, else we get equal recipes because of a typo, how could an algorithm know that a recipe for "pizza" == "pizza pie", we would be littered with sameish recipes.

If you think its important to have a certain recipe on based.cooking you can learn git or open an issue with the recipe and ask someone to open up a pull req.
