## Description

Mini Mealie lets you scrape recipes from any website and save them directly to your self-hosted Mealie instance with just one click — no more copy-pasting.

Key Features:
• Dual Import Modes: URL mode for quick imports, HTML mode for JavaScript-heavy or paywalled recipe sites.
• Smart Recipe Detection: Automatic verification before importing.
• Activity Logging: Track all import attempts with a built-in activity log viewer.
• Context Menu Access: Right-click and "Create Recipe from URL" or "Create Recipe from HTML."
• Secure Storage: API tokens stored securely.

How to Use:
1. Generate an API token from your Mealie instance.
2. Enter your Mealie server URL and API token in the extension popup.
3. Browse any recipe website.
4. Right-click → "Create Recipe from URL" (or HTML mode for tricky sites).
5. Recipe appears in your Mealie instance.
