Should be fixed in a few days.
If enough people like it, I will make this a full-fledged service.
And focus on adding features like dark mode, server-sync, sign-in, account management, export/import of recipes, sharing screenshots of recipes like this one directly with your friends https://i.redd.it/kk1goqsswo981.png
In addition, I would encourage you to try the iOS app. Way better experience.
Because this is a app-first service. Web was built later.
You can also save it to your phone directly using the app. Scan recipe QR code using your phone camera and voila.

Currently working on a feature that lets you share recipe "image cards" with your friends.. Something like this https://i.redd.it/kk1goqsswo981.png
Let me know if you'd use that feature
About the scroll, yes, flutter feels weird on the web.
I'd recommend using the mobile app though. Smoother and has more features. :)
So schema.org has a standard json schema for recipes. Crawlers use this information to parse and figure out what kind of content lives on the page.
Since google encourages this and ranks pages with schema higher, all recipe blogs and sites add this schema to their html.
This is structured data. I just parse this json.
Not all recipes follow this though. So you may occasionally see error messages for old sites that have not implemented schema.org structure.
Regarding your second question, I built this as a side project to learn flutter. I learned the basics of flutter and wanted to build something with the newly-acquired skill.
Hence the mobile apps and web app. All these are built with flutter. :)
Let me see if I can integrate this inside a browser extension.
You can use OnlyRecipe.app to extract the recipe information. It works on almost all sites/blogs which follow a recipe standard when they post.
You can also save it to your phone directly using the app. Scan recipe QR code using your phone camera and voila.

I built this as a side project to learn a new programming language. So thought of sharing it. :)
Even after all these measures, are they even making any profit yet?
