More awful recipe site #ux, this time even worse with both a near-opaque overlay and one of those stupid #iOS app download plea things.
When will these people realise that, having clicked on a recipe permalink from a search engine, the task in my mind is “learn about a recipe”. Viewing an app in the App Store (yep, that’s not even a download button, so there’s another useless step) or going to a completely different website is not going to help me achieve that task.
