I wish there was a good recipe website where you could press a button to import it and change it / save it. Could make sharing recpies and searching for them centralized and readable instead of the current system of blog posts and images or shudder gifs.

Paprika for iOS took me pretty far in this direction. I bought it on a recommendation from a friend so I could strip out the blog posts and index recipes, but the grocery shopping features ended up making it something I used all the time. You still share with the original URL, but I've got friends who are into cooking on it now and it's just as quick for them to save.

I am a heavy Paprika user as well.

Emailing the recipe formats the content into an email body text and doesn't require the recipient to go to the website. It also includes a .paprikarecipe attachment for direct import into the recipients Paprika app.

Ah, I guess I’ve only ever shared as a link over chat apps. Thanks for the tip!

MyFitnessPal does a not-completely-terrible job of parsing pasted or linked recipes. It's a terrible website overall tho, which hasn't been updated once since I started using it in 2012.
