> I spent a few weeks of my spare time trying to get the parsing of free-text recipes to work (essentially MFP's import from link). The results were decent, but I realized that if it's only 90% accurate I still need a lot of user interface functions (like MFP) to let users edit/fix the inaccurate bits. It started smelling bad so I decided to strip it down to its most basic function.

As a regular MyFitnessPal user I have to say, their recipe importer leaves a lot to be desired. Whenever I use it, I inevitably have to make corrections because it mapped the parsed ingredient to the wrong item. (And their UI for making corrections is not particularly great either.)

It's probably a good idea that you decided not to go down this road.
