Do you know of anything that does this? I’m kinda tempted to sketch out a plan to do it myself but I already have a totally different project I’m working on and struggling with.
I don’t know of anything like that, but it seems like parsing out multiple different formats for recipe ingredient lists would be one of the major obstacles to consistency and reliability.
I don’t know much about digital recipes, other than the crap that is various websites with their ingredient list obfuscation game.
Yeah but I’m not even asking for that. I literally want a “start recipe” button… I enter each ingredient in separate text boxes… Optional “instruction” box to paste the instructions… Later I decide “on Tuesday let’s have home made pizza, then on Wednesday we’ll do beef tips and noodles” and I click a check box or type in recipe name, system sees ingredients I previously entered for that recipe and adds it to grocery list.
No web scrapping or parsing needed. I will enter the ingredients for each recipe but I only want to enter it once
Oh yeah, I get it. On iOS I use a simple database app called Collections that I really like, I use it for mileage tracking and certain kinds of journaling or lists that need extra features like a relational key or lookups or sketch or calculation fields etc. When I can’t find an app that does what I want.
Basically a simple roll-yer-own approach. I haven’t looked into sharing the data dynamically, though. I think Collections is iOS only, probably similar apps galore on android. https://collectionsdb.com/
That seems like a perfectly reasonable feature list!

I use Paprika on iOS, which does this.
I have a folder full of recipe files from before I got that, but haven’t really looked yet for anyway to import those
