Description Matthias Clasen 2017-05-27 15:05:41 UTC 
Some feedback from users:

- it would be nice if the plain number (e.g. the 6 in '6 eggs') showed up as a completion as well

- we need to allow 'special' amounts like 'a pinch' or 'to taste' or just leave the field empty, for things like spices

- maybe there should be a way to reduce the number of units that show up in the completions. Ideally, we only use units that make sense - ie volume measures for liquids, but not things like 'bushel'. Also, it might be nice to only show SI or only imperial units (depending on locale ?)

- we should show the full names of the units in the completion as well - the abbreviations are not universally known
Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2017-05-27 16:05:40 UTC 
I added the plain number to the completions now.
Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2017-05-27 22:02:59 UTC 
Full names of units are now shown
Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2017-05-27 23:00:07 UTC 
Empty amount fields are now allowed again.
Comment 4 Matthias Clasen 2017-05-27 23:18:23 UTC 
Most is done here.
Comment 5 Jakub Steiner 2017-05-29 09:47:05 UTC 
Too bad it's natural for humans to think of amounts first and then, by the way, append the unit and kind at the end. 

It would sure be nice to limit the list of suggested units based on the ingredient. I'm not sure switching the natural order for editing to [ingredient, amount] would be a win.
