Show HN: PurePlates - A Recipe Scraping iOS App
Hey Everyone! This is my first post on Hacker News, and I wanted
to share my project with you! From a young age, I dreamed of
becoming a chef, but life took me down the path of software
engineering instead. Nevertheless, my passion for creating
delicious meals has always remained close to my heart. This journey
led me to seek out recipes to enhance my cooking skills, but I
often found myself frustrated by the websites I encountered--ads
everywhere, walls of text, and recipes that were difficult to
follow. That's where PurePlates comes in. PurePlates allows users
to share a recipe through their mobile browser or simply copy and
paste the URL directly into the app. In an instant, you receive a
scraped recipe that includes instructions, ingredients, and any
available nutrition information. You can easily start cooking and
follow along step by step, making the process much more enjoyable.
Plus, if you find a recipe you love, you can add it to your
favorites for quick access later! As this is just an MVP, there's
still plenty of room for improvement, and I'm actively working on
enhancing the extraction rate for recipes. Thanks for reading, and
keep hacking! Connor
