whattocook VS RVS_MediaServer

I literally made one to scratch my itch with home cooked meals: https://www.kassner.com.br/en/2023/09/21/what-to-cook-launch...

Honestly, I don’t have “a stack”, if I’m trying to learn a new thing I’ll use that to build a new project, or if I don’t I’ll default to the most suitable option.

i.e.: What to Cook? was built in Java because I needed a refresher, otherwise I’d likely use PHP/Symfony because I could finish it quickly. If the project is non-web/fullstack, I’d default to Go. If im building something that will use React, I’d default to NodeJS+Express.

If you’re curious, i have a few write ups in the projects section of my blog

I have a few:

https://www.ytemail.com/ - e-mail notifications for YouTube uploads. I was in the 0.01% that used and liked e-mails, and built this after Google killed the e-mails. If you want to use, please get in touch, I'm happy to onboard free users if the amount of notifications you'll get isn't big.

https://github.com/kassner/whattocook - Recipe chooser, but it works the other way around you'd expect. In a household of depressed people, it's common that we can't get to agree on the meal, so this project decides it for us. You can exclude ingredients in case you don't have them at home, but that's the only way you'll get a different recipe.

https://www.kassner.com.br/projects/money/ - Personal finances project that only I use. Never had the courage to open it to the world, and there isn't anything innovative in it to be worth the hassle either. Only pluses are single-binary web project and DBs are password-encrypted by default.

Well, these ones aren't "half-baked," but they are no longer being maintained (archived):

This project is unfinished (I just walked away from it, as it wasn't really giving me what I wanted):

This one is "half-baked," I believe. I never really took it particularly far:

I did something similar for Mac, a while back[0]. I never really developed it much farther, because of the latency issues. Since it was for surveillance cameras, that was a showstopper.
