Why did I make this?<p>User Story #1: You have some leftover apples at home, last you counted it was 7. You find a recipe that you like but it&#x27;s for 16 apples. Typically you would have to do a lot of mental math to scale all the ingredients of the recipe down. But thanks to Recipe Scaler, all you have to do is copy paste the link in the box and hit Parse. Now you can scale apples down to 7 and voila! Every other ingredient is proportionally scaled down.<p>User Story #2: You have a party at your place tonight. You plan to make this famous chilli recipe you found on a blog. But alas, her recipe makes just enough for a family of 4, not 20! But thanks to Recipe Scaler - you easily scale the recipe from 4 to 20 servings.<p>Truth be told both of these have happened to me. I have been using my own product a lot lately, so if nothing else, I&#x27;m glad I got something out of it.<p>Behind the scenes I have also written an API that is able to take any website link with a recipe in it and parse it into a well structured format.<p>Any advice or suggestion in general is welcome!<p>Best, Za
