Vanilla Cookbook
Vanilla Cookbook is a self hosted recipe manager built with Svelte(kit). It is designed with complexity under the hood, keeping the user experience as uncluttered, simply vanilla as possible.
Most of the web’s recipes are stored as text, without much thought to a consistent language or structure. Many self-hosted apps go down the structuring route, automating, or asking the user to organise their data. This can lead to cluttered and complex interfaces, limiting user experiences to those technically minded. The philosophy behind Vanilla was to do as much as I could with that text as it was, limiting the work the user has to do to a minimum. You should be able to get cooking with a few clicks.
Could this be a lightweight Mealie alternative?
