@antoninkus right now, we have a leaderboard for both your friends, and everyone on the app, for who has shared the most over all time. We've heard rumors of little rivalries emerging between some of our friends over this leaderboard. We have some ideas to make it even more game-like. Is there anything you'd like to see in that regard?

@blacob nice, the leaderboard already sounds like it could get competitive. What about adding streaks for posting consistently? Like a badge if you share something every day for a week. Or themed challenges could be fun – pasta week, 5-ingredient meals, stuff like that. Would definitely keep me coming back. :)
I always struggle to figure out why to cook and either end up delivering or standing in the middle of whole foods wandering around until something inspires me. I’ve been a huge fan of morsel since the beginning- seeing what people are cooking has helped inspire many of my dinners every week
Congrats on the launch! When you post a meal, does it break down the recipe into ingredients / nutrition / steps to create? would be cool to explore other peoples meals and know how to actually create them & learn new things.
very cool! I appreciate that you included a leaderboard mechanic!
I hate recipes primarily because of the insatiable ad slop, so whenever someone sends me a recipe that we like, we hand-write it down. maybe having a directory within the app of the heavy hitters that people like and a recipe would be cool. I do think the single best source of good recipes is people you know directly.
also not sure if just server load, but the recipes page in the app feels very slow / broken maybe? when i try to view recipes from morsel users at the bottom of the page, im not able to click into any of them.
@catt_marroll it seems that we have a hit box bug. The blank space between the recipe name and the arrow isn't clickable. If you click on either the name or the arrow, it should take you through.
Unfortunately though, I just noticed another bug with these user-made recipes: once you do click in, the recipe details don't show up. User-created recipes is a newer feature, and we'll roll out some improvements shortly.
Thanks for calling this out!

I love the sense of community kitchen cooking, I can see what my friends are making with some of the same ingredients I have. Sometimes I love to show off some of the most inventive meals i make while working in the kitchen. There's only so much you can do with grilled chicken breast but when you combine it with some wild combinations you end up with some amazing dishes, that I can save and share with members of my own cooking community. Great flex for those secrect recipes that everyone asks about.

This looks like a fun app for families or a friend-group. A potential future feature could be to have weekly/monthly challenge to use different ingredients or to try different cooking styles. Everyone likes a little competition!
can you add voting so me and my friends can compete to be the best chef? morsel is awesome, loving it!

Hello, looks nice, is there any gamification model to encourage people to share on regular basis?
