I cannot find a link to the source code. Is there any?
https://www.recipeninja.ai/assets/index-B7TAGfYd.js Not 35k lines, but there's one line that's about 48,000 characters long. So either they've intentionally obfuscated it, or chatgpt just churned out one long line Edit: Running it through a prettifier the code comes about 33k lines
A cooking web app 35k LoC? Wow, the author might be surprised to know that an entire OS kernel can be programmed at a fraction of that count. I can safely say that the days where we compained about JS bloat can be put aside, this is a whole new league by itself. Sane advice: learn to program, put the AI hype/drug aside and do yourself a favor. It's an invaluable lifetime skill knowing to program from scratch and perh…
It feels like Jian Yang and Big Head are making a new app
I would tell the AI to avoid recipes that contain bodily fluids.

I think this helps to understand the mindset of a vibe coder better

The cooking book scene has been openly criticized for not actually trying the recipes, even before LLMs were a thing[0]. Regular cooking websites have always been somewhat unusable due to massive ads and fluff text because 1) SEO and 2) recipes are not copyrightable, but the fluff text is.
For quite some time I get my recipes directly from chatgpt, the instructions are very condense, they work quite well, and most importantly: It knows how to substitute ingredients. "My friend is vegan and allergic to heat-resistant soy protein" and it's going to adjust accordingly.

I'm convinced that people who complain about this don't use recipe sites very often. There are loads without any preamble, and many of those with narrative provide a 'jump to recipe' button. Even if it is a long article with no jump (rare), it's still not a big deal 1. Some people do want the narrative 2. It's not that much of a hardship to scroll
You're entirely right. I don't use recipe sites very often, and yet it still happens often enough that I have to keep scrolling and reading on different sites to get past the backstory
Ex. Above all the fluff is the word "Print" in a yellow box [1] which takes you to a no fluff page [2].

That is nice actually. Recipe sites are so annoying where I have to scroll for an hour to see the ingredients. Thanks!
