Trying it with Alton Brown's cookies led to some bugs:
https://onlyrecipeapp.com/recipe-details?canonicalUrl=https:...
- 12 ounces bread flour became just "12 ounce" - Yield of 2 dozen cookies became just "2 servings"
Also, not really a bug per se, but the site contains both metric and imperial measures already, and I see that you only take the imperial units and convert them on demand. For some of the measures, like for the butter, the difference is significant. Not huge, but enough to be noticeable.
All that said: this is pretty great. I've actually been thinking about making a recipe app for quite a while now, and I see the most interesting features I thought of you have implemented. Scraping recipes on demand, interactive timers, recipe scaling. Really cool!
Only idea I had that I don't see here is automatically estimating nutrients and calories. But that's probably for the best: When I tried making the aforementioned app, I started by diving right into that particular rabbit hole, and, well... I still don't have any recipe app to show for it :p Here be dragons!
