Example: "Put eggs, flour, sugar and butter in the bowl"
And it should be: "Put 2 eggs, 1 cup of flour, 1/2 cup sugar and 1 stick of butter in the bowl"
Hey HN folks! Do you ever wish you could just bypass the entire life story at the beginning of every recipe? It drove me crazy the other day when I was just trying to find a recipe for some chicken wings so I decided to do something about it, just in time for the Holidays. Rapid Recipe automatically detects when you’re reading a recipe and renders just the recipe without all of the backstory. It’s an App Safari Exten…
Nice extension :) I assume this is using the sites own search engine metadata a-la https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/structure... ? I did a little digging into this a while ago for a hobby project, but it never went anywhere. Well done for shipping! :D
My development directory fully empathizes with starting something and not quite shipping it. I ended up getting this working because I time boxed myself, which was surprisingly successful for me. I'm planning on continuing to time box for future projects like this. May not work for everyone, but could be worth a try.
Do you ship a local language model with the extension or is it cloud based?
Feature request (not even sure this is possible) but if in the instructions you could add the measurements instead of what every recipe on the planet does and just say their name. Example: "Put eggs, flour, sugar and butter in the bowl" And it should be: "Put 2 eggs, 1 cup of flour, 1/2 cup sugar and 1 stick of butter in the bowl"
Very cool project, I launched a similar project called Repibox.com that works on chrome and firefox. However, I like how you got this working for iOS, which is something I didn't get to do. Also, your layout is very clean. Well done!
Not sure this solves the problem - only a short term solution to a poor market structure. And how long does this run until it has to make revenue in some way?
Should it?
I realise Recipeasly was republishing stripped recipe content (search-indexably). Is that a sufficient difference?

That where recipes goes wrong, how much is a cup or a 1/2 cup? How much is a stick of butter? Why not 250gr of flower, 125 gr of sugar, 100gr of butter.
