Okay so this is a really fun little rabbit hole.

I have recently started reading and posting on usenet. Specifically on news.tildeverse.org. Which I think peers with the newsgroups from the
original tilde, tilde.club. Well technically I’ve been reading and
posting on cosmic.voyage, which peers with…

Look I don’t really know how usenet works. I know it’s decentralized,
and all of these servers “peer” with each other. Which means posts are replicated across the servers. So however you happen access it, it’s all
the same content.

Anyway none of that is actually important. Here’s all you need to know: there is basically a small web forum called tilde.food+drink that had a
small amount of activity over the last few years. And then a flood of
posts from a single user over the course of about a year. This
individual posted well over a hundred recipes on their own. All in the
same format. Here’s an example.

Two of my favorite things are being vegan and databases.

So after messing around with mealmaster for a while I became inspired to
hack together my own solution for keeping track of recipes and planning
meals. One that doesn’t require firing up DOSBox, a database that I
don’t know how to query directly, or a data format that is difficult to parse.

It’s pretty much a fully functional prototype at this point and you can check out the source at https://git.tilde.town/dozens/meals.
