So I refreshed and got "Github for Cooking" which sounded funny at first, until I thought about it. Which then led into a 15 minute discussion with the wife expanding on the idea. Now I wanna build it.

We've been working Sharpen (https://www.sharpenapp.com), a site for sharing your creative pursuits. You can fork a project, like in GitHub, and cooking is pretty popular with our alpha users: (https://www.sharpenapp.com/#!/tag/cooking). We haven't messed with fork in a while but we've got some idea on how to make it more useful... forking recipes makes total sense to me.

As in, here is my pizza recipe, you can have it or you can "fork it" and modify it?

forkitrecipes.com isn't taken ... yet.

I'm pretty sure I've seen "GitHub for Recipes" pop up on HN before. Can't recall it's name at the moment, but it was definitely discussed here fairly recently.
