I made a website to clean up recipe websites
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 made a website to clean up recipe websites launched on April 27, 2026 with 7 votes, #1,538 of 21,248 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches.
In plain words
This website removes clutter from recipe websites by extracting clean recipe content. It works by parsing JSON-LD recipe data where available, with fallback parsers for other sites. Users can flag broken recipes to help improve coverage. The tool is designed for anyone frustrated with ads, excessive storytelling, and unnecessary content on recipe pages.

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…

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
