Recipe Converter
Hi HN, I built a Chrome extension called Recipe Converter that automatically adapts any recipe you find online to your dietary needs — Vegan, Keto, Gluten-Free, Low-Sodium, or Dairy-Free — in one click. I made this because I was constantly finding great recipes that didn’t fit my diet, and manually swapping ingredients was tedious. Most tools make you copy-paste recipes into separate apps, but Recipe Converter works directly in your browser, detecting recipe pages and suggesting smart ingredient substitutions automatically. It’s designed to make healthy eating and managing restrictions…
Recipe Converter launched on October 22, 2025 with 9 votes, #1,657 of 8,178 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.
What it does
Recipe Converter makes any recipe fit your lifestyle — instantly. It automatically swaps ingredients to match diets like Vegan, Keto, Gluten-Free, Low-Sodium, or Dairy-Free. It personalizes any recipe you find online without changing your browsing habits.
Recipe Converter helps you scale recipes for any crowd. Paste a full recipe to get scaled ingredients and a copy-ready grocery list. No sign-up—try it free.
Got a recipe for 6 but dinner is for 10? Paste it as-is, set your servings, and get scaled ingredients plus a grocery list before you cook. No cleanup needed. Paste the recipe as-is, including notes and steps. Leave original servings blank if the recipe already states it. Recipe Converter keeps the full recipe together and organizes it before you choose how many people you’re cooking for. Ingredients and instructions can stay together. No cleanup first. We detect the original amount, then you set the number you need. Get scaled quantities, common unit conversions, a grocery list, and a printable copy. With Recipe Converter, a recipe for 4 becomes a recipe for 10. The amounts scale by 2.5…from recipeconverter.net

CookyOct 2025 · cooky-landing.vercel.app · ▲20I built a recipe manager that automatically shows nutrition info for any recipe. Import from websites or photos, create healthier versions, and keep everything organized across devices. The trickiest part was handling unit conversions accurately—turns out 1 cup of flour and 1 cup of sugar have very different weights! 100% free, available on web and iOS. Looking for feedback!

I went down the rabbit hole on a side project and ended up building this: Strange Attractors(https://blog.shashanktomar.com/posts/strange-attractors). It’s built with three.js. Working on it reminded me of the little "maths for fun" exercises I used to do while learning programming in early days. Just trying things out, getting fascinated and geeky, and being surprised by the results. I spent way too much time on this, but it was extreme fun. My favorite part: someone pointed me to the Simone Attractor on Threads. It is a 2D attractor and I asked GPT to extrapolate it to…

Autism Simulator▲779Hey all, I built this. It’s not trying to capture every autistic experience (that’d be impossible). It’s based on my own lived experience as well as that of friends on the spectrum. I'm trying to give people a feel for what masking, decision fatigue, and burnout can look like day-to-day. That’s hard to explain in words, but easier to show through choices and stats. I'm not trying to "define autism". I’ve gotten good feedback here about resilience, meds, and difficulty tuning. I’ll keep tweaking it. If even a few people walk away thinking, "ah, maybe that’s why my coworker struggles in those…
