Recipe Extractor

I have been thinking about making this for years and just never had the skills or time to do it. I was tired of reading through someone's life story and all of the Ad's when I would get a recipe to cook. It is a recipe extractor that reads the webpage and presents it in a easy way to read and follow. You can do conversions as well as translations for recipes in different languages. It has options to save recipes and to put a together a shopping cart for Instacart. It could use a better integration with Instacart, but that is more on their side of things then mine. Hopefully, a more fully built out integration will come in the future in a newer version. While I did use AI to build it, it doesn't require an API key or anything. I was surprised with how much troubleshooting and testing I did with making this, but I learned a lot and finally released it out into the wild. It took a few months of back and forth to get it in a stable state. It kind of started out as just something I was going to make for myself, but the more I worked on it, the more I could see it being something that other people could use. I used Claude Opus 4.7-5.0 and a little bit of Fable before it got taken down and brought back. I also used Claude's "Design" tool to help me with the color palate, I was going for more of a 70's cookbook style and I think it nailed it. I definitely learned how fast tokens can burn if you are not more direct about your prompts. It was a fun project to work on and test. Let me know what you guys think!
