v2.3 is officially the pre-SaaS groundwork release. But what does that actually mean for you as a user today?
Tags on Everything
Recipes and Meals can now be tagged. The tag input normalises everything automatically: "Chicken, CHICKEN, slow-cooker " becomes "chicken, slow-cooker." Tags are deduplicated, sorted, and trimmed on save.
In the app today, tags make your library searchable and filterable. The public Recipe Library tab supports tag filtering. Down the road, tags will be the primary way people discover community recipes.
Cuisine Types
Recipes now have a Cuisine field. Seventeen presets cover the most common categories (Italian, Mexican, Asian, Indian, and more), but you can type anything you like — it's a suggestion list, not a dropdown. Cuisine becomes a browse filter in the community, and a useful filter in your own library right now.
The Public Recipe Library Tab
A new Recipes tab has been added to the public family calendar. Enable it in Settings → Visibility. It shows a card grid of your meals — photo, name, recipe count, tag chips — with a search bar and tag quick-filters.
This tab is designed to be exactly what a community recipe profile will look like. The code is already there. The UI is already there. When the community launches, this tab becomes your public profile page.
The "Share with Community" Toggle
Both recipes and meals now have a "Share with Community" toggle. Nothing happens when you flip it today. But when the community platform launches, any recipe or meal you've already marked will be immediately visible. Data you don't collect now means a retrofit across every account later. Better to build the habit early.
Display Name
A new Display Name setting captures how you want to be known in the community — "The Montney Kitchen," "Weekend Warriors," whatever fits. Again, nothing visible yet. But collecting it now means no "please fill in your profile before you can participate" prompt when the community goes live.
