Recipe print/export card
A print/export view is a clean, single-recipe card optimized for paper or a static image — large icons, ingredient list, and result, with a 'Print' button that uses the browser's print stylesheet. It solves the surprisingly common use case of players who want a physical reference next to their IRL crafting table, or who want to drop a recipe image straight into Discord. The signal is the number of recipe screenshots shared in the server's Discord every week — that is real demand for a first-class export path. SVG export in particular is a small win that costs almost nothing once the print stylesheet is in place.
Implementation tips
- Add a 'Print' button that opens a print-stylesheet-only view: large icons, ingredient list, result.
- Same data, but as an SVG download — shareable in Discord without external tools.
- Use the browser's print dialog (window.print()) with a @media print block in styles.css.
