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.
- fancy_pantser 5y agoI get loads of really kind emails and messages on a daily basis from the users. It's been really rewarding in that way. A couple ideas that people have put forth seem really reasonable, such as unit conversions, print-friendly pages, and automatic nutrition labels. In fact, I'd actually love those too as a cook! One feature that would improve the recipe recognition and unlock lots of other features where it's found would be JSON-LD support. I'm seeing lots of recipe pages containing those handy, structured formats lately. A comment about JSON-LD: https://github.com/sean-public/RecipeFilter/issues/22#issuecomment-648341619 https://github.com/sean-public/RecipeFilter/issues/22#issuec... But all of these things stray from the fundamental simplicity of what it does. The code is just 92 lines of JS and works (or breaks!) transparently. If I started adding features, it would quickly become another complex system to maintain and I have plent of that at work ;)
