Poštovani, kao kulinarskom piscu preporučujem Vam da pogledate sajt socijalnog preduzeća Radanska ruža iz Lebana, Republika Srbija. Ukoliko niste već probali njihov organski ajvar od autohtonih paprika sa prostora Radna planine, mnogo ste u gubitku. Javite se na miroslav.jovic1966@gmail.com, da Vam pomognem oko kontakta sa njihovim najbitnijim ljudima. Pomažem ih od 2010. godine i postali su izvoznici tog organskog ajvara u Austriju, SR Nemačku i Švajcarsku. Kada probate to što oni gaje i preradjuju u organski ajvar nećete više moći da stvarate kulinarske recepte bez njihovih proizvoda. Živeli!
I've been blogging for 16 years and moving to Substack and the recipe embeds on Wordpress are much more full featured. I am not expecting the same level as those plugins, but the number top features I am hearing from my fellow bloggers is the ability to print and/or save to pdf directly from the embed. There are other minor tweaks like measurements and adding custom blocks but we can work around those. Otherwise, we are embedding our own pdfs into the text of the recipes so we can allow users to download them. I have a substack food writers group on Facebook with 300 members and this is what they are asking for.
I am in agreement that food/recipe writers want a few more options on the recipe option. Yes, needs a print/pdf option for better reader experience. A section for additional info (not description) under the directions to include information like storing, reheating, optional ingredients to make it gluten-free for example) needs a place to reside in recipes. These 2 are bare minimum before I will use it.

The recipe embed is a good start, but to be worth anything at all for the reader, it has to have a print option. Without it, Substack creators will still be forced to create PDF downloads for every recipe, while still having to fill out the recipe card. Recipe card functionality is quite complex, which is why the gold standard will always be WPRM on WordPress. But, the appearance of a solid, basic recipe embed on Substack is much appreciated, and I checked to make sure it's been properly coded on the backend so that Google, et al., can recognize it as a recipe and not just an article. It needs that print button, though!
Two annoying features of Substack text posts: they convert every line feed into a paragraph break, and underlining words is not allowed. Your Substack is a sub-domain so could actually allow any HTML format for the pages.
Can we get some improvements to the options for post layouts for, you know, the writers you’re always talking about. Tabbing, various justifications, text breaks, wrapping text around images… The stuff that Blogger was doing twenty years ago.
Substack is just another social media platform that feeds our urge to hear more same. Instead, make algorithm follow comments, not likes. Encourage true conversation and awareness. Make America honest again, make America UNITED again. Substack could help

There is no problem at all. I just wonder how I can use it for other purposes, explanations, decoding steps in the creative process etc. I am not a food writer, but I think it can serve authors from other niches.
…nice to see new design settings, more of that plz…
This. Took way too long. Also need menu on post pages still.
Also unsubscribe rates
The new pub design settings are 🤩🤩🤩 especially the sizing options of the wordmark.
Awesome! Can we get a poetry category when you get a chance?
I think there is a basic one under more options when you’re drafting!
FINALLY, bigger word marks!!!
Yeah!! 👍👍👍

Good point John. It is one of the real negatives to Substack when there are many positives as well.

It's sad, really. They have gone from "We just want you to write and be happy." to "We want you to write to attract followers and make US happy."
Recipe embeds are still a work in progress. Hundreds of us food writers agree we need printing and pdf saving capabilities

So the receipt option doesn't work well? I have some food influencers I'm helping. I thought it would work well. Or what feature would you like o see?

Ah I see! Thanks for clarifying. I'll feature you in an upcoming post :))
I haven’t bothered checking but does the recipe embed have google’s recipe schema in it? https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/recipe
Yes, it does!
Great!
Two annoying features of Substack text posts: they convert every line feed into a paragraph break, and underlining words is not allowed. Your Substack is a sub-domain so could actually allow any HTML format for the pages.
hi matt klein will this include centre align
Can we get some improvements to the options for post layouts for, you know, the writers you’re always talking about. Tabbing, various justifications, text breaks, wrapping text around images… The stuff that Blogger was doing twenty years ago.
Live video scheduling on android and desktop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy to finally have this option. :)
Love it too. Can sit in my PJs on couch and livestream without tripod :)
They need to add a laughing emoji. :)
Soooooo good. Would love to be able to change the background color of the subscribe section on the homepage 👀🙏🏻
good one

Good to have features aimed at writers, not video producers. Can we get better text options please? Like alignment, for starters?
The Substack team has been cooking with the recipe embeds 🧑🍳🔥

Finally! Ive never thought I’d be so happy to hear about new design features but it was something so needed
We needed this to express ourselves there are amazing artist-y people here. I need to pimp up mine too. The future is so much about design and Ux
wow this is so cool, I just today have watched your YouTube video with Justin Welsh and you are here 😅
Yay wonderful you found me :))) Did you first saw me on YouTube then? Di you search for Justin or Substack?
Was searching for substack videos and stumbled upon your video:)
This is really cool for authors. Can the recipe embed be hacked or used in a different way in the post? Or is it only for recipes?
Great work! I am looking forward to testing these new features.
Hi Keva, could you explain what's the problem with this to better understand it for food writers? Thanks.
There is no problem at all. I just wonder how I can use it for other purposes, explanations, decoding steps in the creative process etc. I am not a food writer, but I think it can serve authors from other niches.
