I'm hopeful that this feature is already in the works, but just in case...it would be great if we could click on a percentage in the flavour tables and have it filter all public recipes which use that percentage of flavouring.
I've been using the flavour percentage tables to gather some baselines for flavour and recipe testing, and it can be hard to put those figures into context without reviewing several other recipes to see how those numbers are being used, many of which are using completely different percentages.
I can't promise it'll make it into the frontend, but I can add sorting by flavor percentage and filtering to the API. I can see how sorting by percentage could be useful. The API will be accessible outside of the web site, so you can consume the data with GraphQL outside of the web site however you want (within user permissions).
Thanks, I really appreciate it. I'm curious to see if/how others would see this as beneficial as well.
For me, I instinctively clicked on the percentage table several times when I first started using ATF, as I wanted to see how a certain flavour was being used in relation to others in lemonades and a few other flavours profiles.
I think most mixers will just want to know the average percentage, but I can see how it could be useful for finding recipes similar to another you like or something like that. The more we can make the data useful, the better, in my opinion. I'd rather have data features not used than not available.
There used to be a great feature on ATF where you could pick the flavor profile you were after e.g banana and it would filter them out for you., That should make a come back. You could choose, banana + milkshake and it would show you all banana milkshakes that were tagged like that.
Well I just tried to create ATF account, which I try to do at least once a year.
I don't have a Google account. I don't have a Facebook account. I don't have a Twitter account. I don't have a Steam account. I don't have a Twitch account. I will never have accounts on these stupid platforms. I don't use app stores - I run a de-googled phone. I don't bank on my phone. I'm getting dangerously close to nuking both my LinkedIn AND reddit accounts. I want to sign up on ATF with email and password. Maybe one of these years...
Sorry for the vent but I don't really see the benefit of this feature request either, especially when there are (admittedly few) people who want to contribute to ATF but can't even create an account without having a big-brother account first.
What? I don't see how this is useful at all. Flavors differ greatly in usage percentage. What would the benefit of this?
Also, recipes use different percentages because they want the flavors to come through differently. That's how mixing works.
Of course that's how mixing works. I'm simply saying I think it would be useful, for example, to quickly see how FLV Cream is being used in all recipes at 7% vs all recipes at 3%.
Obviously no two recipes are going to be exactly the same, but you can see a general pattern emerge from the ratios in which a certain flavour is used in certain types of recipes.
Where are you seeing FLV Cream used at 7% or 3%?
The average percentage is listed on ATF.
In addition, you see all the recipes that contain FLV cream.
You haven't explained how exactly that would be useful.
> Where are you seeing FLV Cream used at 7% or 3%?
I was just throwing a flavour out there as an example. Here's an screenshot of the FA Forest Mix percentage chart.
It would be useful to see the public recipes which use that given percentage (10% in the case of this screenshot), in order to see usage patterns in certain types of recipes (soda, lemonades, etc.) and perhaps to see all recipes that use a certain percentage of a flavour that you really like. For example, I would personally like to see all recipes which use INW Cactus at 3% and how they use that 3% in their recipe in relation to other flavours.
Edit: On a side note Edible, how does knowing the average percentage used in all recipes help anyone? For example, if you have 5 recipes using a flavour at 2% (as an accent) and another 4 recipes using it at 10% (primary flavour), the average percentage is going to be 5.5% of 9 recipes. How does that help with actual usage? I feel like I'm missing something here.
