Finally giving the people what they want. Recipe linking! This has been hotly requested for a long time. Will be great to have it out soon.

Okay Bluesky might actually have legs? I don’t remember how to tweet but maybe I’ll start trying again. I make an app called Up Ahead. It’s been called “the best countdown app, hands down” and “why this is subscrimption??? 1 star”. I’d love for you to check it out. apps.apple.com/ca/app/up-ah...
