I made something sorta like that specific to recipe videos. Basically converts recipe into an idiomatic format (inlines ingredients, detects and renders timers) and links each step in the recipe to its timestamp in the video for easy indexing while you're busy in the kitchen. (I spent too much time trying to scrub to that one spot where "how it's supposed to look" is shown while busy making it look that way)

See example: https://rexipie.com/watch?v=JiJXdoTjw8M

Just s/youtube/rexipie/ in any recipe video URL.

(full disclosure the step/transcript linking is paid-only as it requires a GPT-4 call, everything else is available to demo on free tier)




That's really cool! For comparison, this is the recipe written by the same guy: https://www.allrecipes.com/toy-box-tomato-ricotta-cheese-tor...

I've gotta say, your website might be easier to use during cooking, since it provides the information in-line (especially serving sizes etc.)!


Cool website. Much better than the SEO spam I came across earlier this week when I did a websearch for "pear qwerty horse" after seeing it in the tags under a binging with babish video.

Love the timers and jumping to sections of the video. Though, the second video I tried viewing didn't have linked steps.


The hyperlink "Food Wishes" at the top of the page is broken. It'd be nice too if there was a way on that page to request a new recipe (via video ID or whatever).


This is neat! Do you plan to support videos containing multiple recipes?


As a way too make that easier, maybe it would be nice to support a user-specified set of timestamps? Say recipe A: 0:00-7:46, recipe B: 7:47-15:33 and so on
