A test of a recipe-scanning idea: can a small website hand a recipe to Paprika without anyone digging through downloads?
Sample content onlyThe recipe below is made-up demo content. Saving or importing it adds one clearly marked sample recipe, which you can delete inside Paprika whenever you like.

Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
2 tbsp melted butter
Directions
Whisk the dry ingredients in a bowl.
Whisk the buttermilk, egg and melted butter in a second bowl.
Combine wet into dry and stir until just mixed; a few lumps are fine.
Cook ladles of batter on a buttered griddle over medium heat, flipping when bubbles cover the surface.
Serve warm with butter and maple syrup.
Route being tested: save from inside Paprika
Open Paprika and go to its built-in Browser.
Type this page's address into the address bar (bookmark it for later).
Tap Paprika's Download/Save Recipe button in the lower toolbar.
Expected, not yet verified: Paprika reads the recipe above - name, photo, times, ingredients, directions - and shows it for review. Tap Save.
Check your Paprika recipe list for "Demo Buttermilk Pancakes (sample recipe)".
If Paprika says it cannot read the page, or the recipe comes through wrong or partial, that is useful information too - the page markup would need adjusting.
Photo picker probe
Test only - nothing happens with the photo.
This checks one thing: whether Paprika's built-in browser can open the photo picker at all. Choosing a photo only shows its name below. Nothing is uploaded, sent, stored, or read, and the photo-reading feature is not built yet.
Fallback: download the recipe file
The download route already worked on this phone once. It stays here as a backup while the in-Paprika route is tested.
Expected: Safari saves the file (downloads menu near the address bar). Tap it there, or find it in the Files app, and Paprika offers to import it. If it opens as a page of text instead, long-press the button and choose "Download Linked File".
