The Journey Continues
Phew, what a ride these 4 past months were! Today marks the day when Recipya v1.2.0 is officially released 🎉 So, what’s new? Many things. Let’s go over four highlights. First, the recipes module now supports tools, keywords and videos. Yes, that’s right! You can now attach videos to recipes, and fetched recipes that contain embedded videos, e.g. a YouTube video, will display them in the media carousel. Second, the advanced search. This feature lets you tweak your search query for the desired results. For example, let’s say your database contains over 200 recipes, and you want to search for all those with chicken in the title. In the search bar, you would type name:chicken and tap enter. All recipes with chicken in the title will then be displayed.

Experience the Rising Mountain
#release#self-host#technology#recipes
Raise your swords high towards the eternal sun as we emerge victorious from a monumental battle! We march back home to our tavern to celebrate the end of these dark days. Booze and moose awaits. As we sip our seventh beer, we notice a glaring light from the kitchen, initially ignoring it. It shines brighter and brighter, so bright that it’s blinding us. We stand up, swords at hand, walking drunkenly towards the source, only to discover something out of this world. The blinding light fades away the closer we approach it, revealing an unknown, thin, rectangular box. We rejoice as the screen displays “Recipya v1.1.0 is now available.” Jared, did you catch this? Recipya v1.1.0 has been released!

The Future is Now

Behold your trembling kitchen for Recipya has been officially unleashed into the wild! I am pleased to finally show the world the recipe manager software I have been working hard on since my first commit in May 2021. You might ask why another recipes manager when we’ve got Tandoor, Mealie, Paprika, Grocy, Cooklist, Grossr, and a whole lot more? The answer is simple: none of them satisfied my needs. Either they weren’t free and opensource, had too many unneeded features, their frontend was slow, or they were too hard to install. Although I do have to admit Tandoor recipes is the king after having discovered it a few months back.

Welcome
I am thrilled to present the official website for Recipya! This recipe manager project is focused on simplicity and ease of use. It is meant for the whole family to use and enjoy. You might wonder why I created such application when there are loads of them on the market already. The reason is that none of the solutions satisfied me. They were either too slow, difficult to install, had too many features I don’t want or need, or the website was not to my liking. There are no recipe managers written in my favorite programming language, Go, either. So I decided to give it a go (no pun intended) and create one of the best recipe manager programs out there. The road ahead will be challenging and long because the other solutions are much more mature than the state Recipya is in now. However, I do believe the effort will pay off.
