#2I tried the demo but I didn’t find the meal planner. I mean let say I want to plan the meal for a month by choosing available recipe for each family member.
Is it on the plan?

#4I love it, I'm hosting a version for me at https://food.modispub.com/
The recipe importer is great, I was using paprika but there's always the issue of sharing the recipe with your friends. Here, I can share the recipe where they don't even have to login. The UI is responsive on the phone and the collapsing steps feature is just great. I'm not using the shopping list and meal planner on a daily basis.

#5This is so cool! Got it running locally and it has all the features that my girlfriend and I would need. We're usually doing this planning on paper and it's quite some time involvement to be fair.
This can massively help. Thank you for the DB + API as well.

I think it's in the "hacker's" interest to optimize and improve the tedious chores like meal planning and grocery shopping.

I think its finally time to convert your 'family recipes' book to your own database to share with the family.
And there aren't many good free solutions out there that are user-friendly and accessible everywhere easily. Desktop apps don't cut it anymore especially now that you want to share something in your family's chat group.
People have also started gathering/modifying their own recipes from sites all over, so importing recipes is becoming crucial, especially with certain diets and a personal plan.

#8People who are interested in this may also be interested in Cooklang, a simple plain-text markdown format for recipes: https://cooklang.org/ -- doesn't get much easier than that.

It's a spicier version of ToDo app that you build to test out new stack. Sick of doing another todo app for learning experience, but this time with Rails+Vue instead of Symfony+React? Let's make a recipe site instead, this one has pictures!
I know, I've built one myself when learning new stack. Way more fun than todo app.
