Comment on Ask HN: I created a news shortening algorithm and am not sure how to utilize it

Man, that's awesome. How does it work for recipes? I know there are a few solutions out there for this, but I absolutely cannot stand the 10 pages of narrative and prose before getting to the actual list of ingredients/steps.

I'd be curious to know if you've tested it against recipes.

Most recipe sites include a microformat for recipes, so are trivial to strip of the fluff. Lots of recipe apps can do it for you (I use Paprika 3—browse to the page in the app's webview, hit "add recipe", works like a charm 99% of the time, no further effort) and I bet there are browser extensions for it, too.

For recipes. Ufff I don't know, I've never tried. What recipes?
