nyum VS based.cooking

Very neat!

I've recently taken a stab at something like this, too – the result is a Pandoc-and-Bash-script-based static site generator for my personal recipe collection. Recipes are written in a format based on Markdown (with ingredients listed separately for each step – comes in real handy while cooking), and the end result is a lightweight, responsive, searchable website.

I've open-sourced it here: https://github.com/doersino/nyum

There's also a demo: https://doersino.github.io/nyum/_site/index.html

Hiya! This tool turns a set of Markdown-formatted recipes into a lightweight, responsive, searchable website for your personal use as a reference while cooking, or for sharing with family and friends. It's not intended as a cooking blog framework: there's no RSS feed, no social sharing buttons, and zero SEO.

Here's a demo instance: https://doersino.github.io/nyum/_site/index.html

Nyum is somewhat opinionated, expecting recipes to be written as a series of steps, each with the relevant ingredients alongside an instruction. I first came across this way of doing it via the cuisine LaTeX package (which I then, many years ago, built a custom LaTeX template around), ending up preferring this structure over the more commonly found all-ingredients-first-then-a-block-of-instructions approach. (In the process of recently graduating from university, I found myself contemporaneously graduating from wanting to use LaTeX for everything, which was part of the impetus for cobbling this thing together.)

Good stuff! It looks like you may need to set up SSL certs. I'll also bring your attention to the hugo-driven site, based.cooking, since it is a relatively suckless recipe site as well. Its github repo is here

That reminds me of based.cooking, which is a repository of recipes, but does not really have the family element you were talking about or GPL-3. However your idea seems pretty cool, I just don't know how someone could get families to learn about it.

Source Code

Also, turns out that site has a source repo if one wanted to clone it locally (or contribute): https://github.com/lukesmithxyz/based.cooking

Just recipes, and anyone can contribute their own: https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/based.cooking

A person by the name of Luke Smith actually started a project with a similar goal of aggregating recipes a while ago: https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/based.cooking

Here's the current site, albeit it's built in a fairly minimalist fashion: https://based.cooking/

I guess the entire initiative came out of complaining about modern web bloat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvDyQUpaFf4

Here he talks more about the actual site: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykNEkiYr0QM

Personally, i don't really enjoy his tone or vocabulary choices, but the site works and one has to admire creating lightweight websites, even if they're largely incompatible with the modern trends in content publishing.

Wow this is immediately useful
