Heh. Just yesterday I have released a cooking recipe site, which I made for my 89 year old mom, where she can post her recipes, or rather me with her, in a simple way. Only ingredients and preparation sections exist as well as the ability to upload images.

At first I wanted to write it just for her, but then I thought, why not make it multi-user?

It's a MVP and I have just found a bug, can't edit the recipe language. I also need to add German and Serbo-Croatian translations.

There are no ads (for now, and should there be any, they will be minimal) and no nag screens, no tracking or other hostile bs.

What I find annoying when searching for a recipe it what you wrote, a huge initial wall of text about their ancestors and whatever, but before you can even read it, you have to either click through at least 1 cookie wall and sometimes even accept tracking or pay up.

Frontend Vue with Quasar, backed Go.

No, it's not a site about how to cook your books ;) All the good domains were taken. Also it's a good way to remember this non-standard domain. A play store twa is currently under review. But even should it not be accepted, the website will remain.

I'm currently having issues with keycloak and PWA mode, so it's a SPA with a manifest.json and no service workers.
