Cookbooks

Allow cookbooks to be set to public and shareable via a link or discoverable on group pages

Public Recipes

Allow public recipes to be browsed by group from non members.

Curious, any updates on this? The fact that you can only generate temporary sharable links (that are also ugly) is the only thing holding me back from using this. Would be super nice to have public-by-default as an option, with WordPress style pretty links.

My timeline got pushed back because of some summer vacation stuff. Currently hoping to get this rolled into the next beta at the end of the month. It may be a partial implementation, we'll see how far I get.

Oh awesome @hay-kot !! Might sound dumb, but sharable, pretty links is a make or break feature for a food blogger :)

I agree. I've been using mealie to build a collection of recipes to try, then the ones that turn out well we share links to our friends and family, but we don't want to make them create accounts, so I'm stuck on 0.5.6 until this feature get's re-added. While I typically share a specific recipe link, I still want browsing everything to be available.
