Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

I found tandoor, mealie, etc too bloated and complex for a simple catalogue of recipes. my solutions was mkdocs.
i do have to write out each recipe in markdown but this gives me a chance to read each recipe in detail and understand it before it goes into my catalogue.
Same for me with Markdown. Love the simplicity.
I went through a phase a while back of evaluating a bunch of note-taking and to-do apps, and hating almost all of them for being proprietary products with so much vendor lock-in.
I eventually settled on Joplin because it just uses plain old markdown, and allows you to selfhost the storage back-end so you own your data.
So because of that, my recipes are just a folder (and some subfolders) with markdown in Joplin.
I put my public stuff in a tiddilywiki because I can just take the file and save it to a public spot.
I use Obsidian and Syncthing for my personal stuff though. It has a bunch of searching, organizational, and plugin options.
Markdown ftw.
