It would be amazing if there was something that would convert recipes to the format used on Cooking For Engineers. It’s so intuitive and easy to read. I never want to look at steps to make a recipe again. Scroll to the bottom to see what I’m talking about: http://www.cookingforengineers.com/recipe/108/Banana-Nut-Bre...

My dream is to build a browser to do this for the entire web, using AI/ML to "translate" ad-ridden sites to their pure HTML/CSS counterpart. Lots of pre-trained models can make sense of pages based on visual layout. Seq2seq/summarizer models can work hand-in-hand to take out the cruft.

I imagine a cache of this simple web shared across all browsers.

Imagine translating all PDF manuals, scientific research, and yes, recipes, in this decentralized manner. The dataset would be clean both for human consumption as well as ML training.

In the same vein, I made the Recipe Filter extension for browsers: Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/recipe-filter/ahlc... FF: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/recipe-filter... Source code (there's Safari in there if you don't mind building it yourself): https://github.com/sean-public/RecipeFilter I was spurred into action by a comment here on HN back in 2017: https://news.ycombinator.co…

Funny running into you here! I'm the 'maintainer' of the Firefox version (it doesn't take much work.) I just got a request to do imperial to metric conversion, which I had to politely decline based on the idea of looking up the density of every ingredient involved; not to mention writing an actual parser for recipies proved to be quite a challenge given the wide diversity of how the recipes are layed out.

Damn, that is awesome. We need an AI to convert text instructions into this format.

I created this app to scrape a website's HTML for recipe and ingredients and create a grocery list. It works for recipes in many formats.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It's not that complicated. Copyright was simply never intended to apply to recipes. The fact that there is nothing copyrightable about a mere list of ingredients and basic preparation instructions without any creative elements is not in any sense a "loophole".

Also that.

It's obvious to everyone that content producers who write, format, publish and promote recipes usually have a revenue goal. Any tactic that defeats that is theft, whether you want to point to fineprint somewhere or not. You know that someone made something and you have decided not to give back.

Ad free recipe sites are already handled, you pay a subscription fee instead.

That being said, the final format of an onlyrecipes scrape is very attractive! It would make for a nice intentional feature of recipe website, so the producers can still get their impression revenue and the readers can enjoy such a pleasing format

Is it not on the safari 'store' because of the $99 a year?

Not the OP, but I maintain an extension for using keyboard and mouse on Xbox xCloud.

I'd love to support Safari, and like OP I have it technically working as well, but as the extension is free and open source it's hard to justify the $99 price tag just to share it with the world. https://github.com/idolize/xcloud-keyboard-mouse/issues/13
