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…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

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 conditionals. If all else fails, it uses AI as a fallback to parse a recipe and return valid ld+json Recipe data based on Schema.org's Recipe spec. I even say "please" to the AI overlords. If a request for a recipe seems to take a long time, you'll know it's pinging OpenAI's API (the Chat API via the 3.5-turbo model). I'd love to see if you can find a recipe that breaks it!

    Recipe search engine, built in vanilla PHP2022 · recipehunt.app · ▲67

    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…

    I made a website to clean up recipe websitesApr 2026 · tangled.org · ▲7

    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

    I vibecoded a 35k LoC recipe app2025 · recipeninja.ai · ▲126

    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…

    QuickDessert – generate quick dessert recipes and adjust Ingredients2024 · quickdessert.recipes · ▲20

    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…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
