I know its been a month since our last update. Originally I set out to do this every week, but there just wasn't enough visible change. So for this week, I want to share the things we're working on now:
- A new homepage. We've had our current homepage for over a year now and while it's been great at surfacing the latest recipes and classes, we feel that we can do better. There's a lot of great hidden content on ChefSteps, and I'm not talking about just recipes. We want to surface content from the blog, the forum, midnight snacks...the list goes on. That's our biggest project at the moment, we've got designs for the new homepage and currently doing work building out tools for our content team.
- Improvements on the Recipes pages. We just pushed a change to improve the design of our discovery and social buttons. We want to make it easy for you to bookmark, share, and talk about the recipe.
- New profile page design. We realized profile page needs work to help you find the content you've bookmarked and the conversations you've been a part of. There's a design for this page and we'll start work on this after the homepage.
Finally, there's the community, all you cooks out there! I know there's been a lot of great feedback regarding the forum and ChefSteps as a whole. We're all following the thread and will use that feedback to improve your experience here at ChefSteps.
Since the time of writing this, we've actually pushed some fixes:
- Hotness should actually work now.
- We've added a "works at chefsteps" label to avatars for better visibility
