24 alternatives to A recipe parser to get rid of the cruft. I need you to break it
I made a recipe parser to get rid of all the cruft on recipes. Check it out: https://recipeplz.fly.dev/ Has this been done? Yes. Does this project use AI? Also yes...but barely. What it does do is grab various forms of metadata that recipe sites often provide for SEO reasons (as per schema.org Recipe spec). It's commonly ld+json, but can be other formats as well. The trick is this: What the numerous recipe sites output is not always the same - there are many variations of the schema.org specs used for Recipes, so this project attempts to correct for that. It's just a bunch of…

Hi hn! It has always annoyed me that recipe websites are so cluttered and have so much (in my opinion) useless fluff, so I made a little website to solve that problem! One good thing about SEO for once is that Google has pretty much forced the internet to adopt JSON-LD for recipes so many recipes are directly extractable and for others I have several fall back parsers including an indieweb parser :) If you do find a website that is broken feel free to click the flag button or share it as I would love to fix any edge cases

1) Summary = RecipeHunt(http://recipehunt.app) is a Recipe Search Engine that gives you the only 3 things that matter in my opinion: (a) Picture, (b) Ingredients, (c) Directions 2) Problem = Every recipe site is bloated(e.g. full of ads, long backstory). I just want to see 3 things: Picture, Ingredients, Directions. 3) Solution = Built a simple Recipe Search Engine that gives you only those 3 things. 4) Tech Stack = Vanilla HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, SQL (some JQuery). Frameworks are too complicated for me, so I just wanted to build with what I know. 5) Design -Main Feed = Similar…

Over the last 2-3 weeks, I vibecoded the recipe app that I always wished existed - recipeninja.ai . It now includes a fully interactive voice assistant so you don't need to get your dirty hands over your new iPad when you're cooking. Background: I’m a startup founder turned investor. I taught myself (bad) PHP in 2000, and picked up Ruby on Rails in 2011. I’d guess 2015 was the last time I wrote a line of Ruby professionally. Last month, I decided to use Windsurf to build a Rails 8 API backend and React front-end app, using OpenAI's realtime API for voice-to-voice responses. Over the last few…

It’s not just your average recipe site – they’ve got an AI-powered feature that generates custom dessert recipes based on your preferences or available ingredients! If you’re short on time or ingredients, the site lets you tweak recipes on the fly. You can adjust ingredients to suit your pantry, dietary preferences, or time constraints, and the AI will instantly generate a new dessert idea for you. Super handy for those moments when you have a sweet tooth but not everything in your kitchen! For example, I tried out a brownie recipe and swapped out sugar for honey – worked like a charm! The…

Souva▲8Hi HN, I'm a solo student dev. Souva started with a problem my mom and I always ran into: we'd open a full fridge and have no idea what to make, then open a full pantry and still have no idea what to make. Most recipe apps expect you to find a recipe and go out and get everything, but we didn't have the time or the space for niche ingredients we'd only ever use once. Souva works with what you already have. You enter what you have by snapping a photo of your fridge, scanning a barcode, or typing it in, and the app finds recipes you can actually make right now. If you're like me and always…
