I vibe-coded an app that turns any recipe link into a nutrition label with Gemini + VS Code

I recently spent a month vibe-coding a web app that turns any recipe into a detailed nutrition label. My entire workflow was a loop of prompting Gemini, pasting the code into VS Code, fixing what broke, and repeating that x1000 times. I know about tools like Cursor & Replit, but I stuck with this manual setup since I'm more comfortable with it. No idea if it s the right way, but I just ran with it and got this app launched.

You can give it a link to a YouTube video, recipe website, ingredients text, upload an recipe image (or take a photo of your recipe book), and it instantly:

  • Analyze any recipe from a YouTube video, website link, pasted text or image.

  • Identify ingredients and their quantities, then provide nutritional information obtained from USDA database.

  • Generate a nutritional label, including calories, macro/micronutrients, and daily value of the recipe.
