Test Batch #3

Thanks to feedback from members of the Cascade Brewer’s Guild, I’ve got two options for sharing recipes.

  • Share a screenshot of the recipe
  • Share a link to Brewfather

Let’s see how they work.

Screenshot

Here’s a screenshot from Brewfather.

To get the entire recipe in this screenshot, I had to zoom out to about 50% on my laptop. Then I used cmd + shift + 4 to take a screenshot of a screen selection.

Whatever formatting template I’m using right now, the image is aligned quite far left of the left edge of the text, so that doesn’t look great. The text in the image is also a lot smaller than the body text. I’ll have to check after I publish the post, but I’m thinking the image text will look quite small and will be tough to read.

I looking into options for taking screenshots larger than the size of the screen, but all I found was how to take video captures of the screen. I’ll have to explore the possibility of taking a larger screen capture more.

UPDATE: After publishing the article, I checked the output on my phone. The image quality is pretty bad. I had tried to shrink the image so it fit on the screen better, but that resulted in squishing the image. So I’ll still need to work on the process for getting a nice image in here.

Link to Brewfather

How about sharing a link from Brewfather. To get the link, I went to the Brewfather app via my laptop browser, picked a recipe, then clicked the “Share” button on the top-right menu bar. Pasted the link below.

Alright, there is a link. It’s a link. You can click on it.

I’ll have to check if someone without a Brewfather account can access the recipe.

UPDATE: After publishing the article, I tested the link on my laptop and on my phone. Link works well, takes me straight to a minimalist and functional site from Brewfather that presents the recipe.
