- BuildItBusk parentI 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!
- 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 have to admit that my first thought was “April’s fool”. But you are right. It makes a lot of sense (if they can get it to work well). Not only is Excel the world’s biggest “programming language”. It’s probably also one of the most unintuitive ways to program.
- This is already a feature in an app called MacroFactor. But there is definitely room for improvement in the field.
One thing that I miss in MacroFactor is that it should have some memory of my previous choice.
Example: If I take a picture of a glass of milk, it always assumes it to be whole milk (3.5% fat). Then I change it to a low fat milk (0.5% fat). But no matter how many times I do that, it keeps assuming that the milk in the photo is whole milk.
- As mentioned, HTML is indeed a programming language. But it’s one that is rarely used on its own. So you could argue that having it as a thing of itself in these lists, makes little sense.
