I built this to solve a personal annoyance - reformatting recipes from messy sources (blog posts, screenshots, social media comments).

Instead of trying to parse every possible recipe format, I treat it as a transformation problem. Paste messy text, AI interprets the structure, you get clean output. The app preserves attribution and stores both versions so you can verify the interpretation.

Tech: Next.js + PostgreSQL + OpenAI API, deployed on Vercel.

Happy to answer questions or hear feedback!

I love how simple it is to use and works well.

I don't seem to see the original to verify the output in the formatted or shared view unless I'm missing something?

I have been fiddling quite a bit with that. Could be that I actually lost that functionality along the way. I will take a look at it. Thanks!
