Could this get the same kind of backlash as Recipeasly.com earlier this year? [1, 2] Should it? I realise Recipeasly was republishing stripped recipe content (search-indexably). Is that a sufficient difference? [1] Twitter announcement and thread: https://twitter.com/redman/status/1366137187117506560 [2] Mainstream news blow-up: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26311101

my understanding is that recipeasly was "stealing" page views from the blogs which led to ad revenue decline. this extension modifies the page afaik so shouldn't be the same issue.

Do you ship a local language model with the extension or is it cloud based?

Currently its just shipping in English but if you browse a recipe website that is in another language it _should_ work if the recipe follows the standard metadata formats. If you come across a specific foreign language recipe that you think should work and doesn't shoot me an email at rapidrecipe AT reichel.dev

So the language model is fully offline? If I go to an NSFW recipe site, the data will not be sent to some far off server?

That's correct - Most recipe websites actually already encode the recipe in a structured format which is what this is parsing. No AI model is needed to decipher what is and isn't a recipe!
