What’s New
Framily Cookbook is still growing, and your feedback is helping shape what comes next. Here’s a look at recent improvements, known issues, and ideas we’re exploring.
Latest Improvements
We’ve recently made several changes to make Framily easier to use:
- Improved Help: Find answers to common questions about recipes, cooking history, signing in, and privacy.
- Easier Feedback: Ask questions, report problems, or suggest improvements using the updated Get Help form.
- Clearer Sign-In Instructions: New members can find guidance for their first sign-in and learn how to use phone or email afterward.
- Personal recipe lists: Save recipes you want to make and keep track of your favorites.
- Family connections: Organize recipes by Family Group, Family Archive, and Family Favorites.
- Easier recipe editing: Improved Cooking Logs, automatic draft saving, and clearer editing controls.
- Recipe imports: Add recipes from websites, Pinterest links, or photos of handwritten recipes.
- Account improvements: Easier access to your account and password settings.
We’re continuing to improve Framily based on how members actually use it.
Known Issues:
Framily is still being tested, and a few things aren’t working perfectly yet.
- First-Time Sign In: New members must sign in using their email address and password the first time. After that, they can use their registered mobile phone number to sign in with a text message code or password.
- Saving a Source URL: Adding or changing a recipe’s Source URL can sometimes cause a security error. If this happens, remove the URL and save the recipe without it.
- Recipe Search: Search works best with matching words. For example, searching for “ribeye” may not find a recipe titled “rib eye.”
- Automatic Draft Saving: Framily saves your progress while entering a recipe, but not every field or uploaded photo can be recovered if you leave the page unexpectedly.
