Also, I may be biased as a hardware engineer, but I only consider hackathons that welcome both software and hardware projects.
It is interesting to see competition to the MakerBot, since $2k is still a bit high, and if the PandaBot's "calibration-free" design works as well as they claim, the ease-of-use factor is still a big thing to exploit.
If it has even moderately good print quality, a commercial, fully-assembled FDM printer for under $1000 is an interesting prospect.
"Tens place"? "24-bit color" ignores alpha and color palettes "# means 'This is a hex number'": No, it means a web color expressed as 3 hex numbers.
Plus, I know it looks better to make your colors less saturated, but when you are demonstrating starting from #ff0000 and adding other colors, why not actually display #ff0000 instead of #e93f32?
Finally, spellcheck.
Yes, 15 * 2048 = a 30k limit on document size

2. I can't edit ingredient or direction entries after saving them from the "create recipe" form, I have to delete them and re-enter them.
3. The font is a little over-the-top IMHO
4. Consider using hashtags or something else to make the site more bookmark-friendly and back-button friendly.
EDIT: Thought of some more things:
5. I'd like to be able to optionally have my cookbook accessible to the public via some URL (or maybe on a per-recipe basis?)
6. Mobile styles need a little work (browsing from Android 2.2, the white space for headings / lists looks cramped, text isn't big enough, etc)
7. I'd like to be able to export recipes or the whole cookbook in some plaintext format, email recipes to people, have a print view of recipes, etc.
8. This is just a random idea, but it would be cool if the app automatically formatted ingredient listings, i.e. turning "1-1/4" into "1¼", autocorrecting "t." to "tsp", "T." to "Tbsp", or something? I'm not sure if there is a standard way to do this with non-Metric cooking units, but just something I was pondering.
9. It's really easy to lose your work! No delete confirmation, info gets lost if you refresh the "add recipe" form, etc.
