Hey, does anyone know and/or use an OSS grocery list?
That’s something I wasn’t able to digitalize, but I want to…
I’m looking for a grocery list server (hostable via Docker) that I can access from my smartphone or Desktop, but haven’t found a good solution yet.
I know, there are Markdown note taking apps like Joplin and I’m using them as a private “knowledge base”, but I wasn’t convinced of them as grocery lists. I imagine, there could be some optimizations like templates for stuff you buy every time or auto-completions (e.g. if you type “papr” and there was “paprica” in your list history, it could auto-complete or at least suggest the word…).
How are you doing it? Already digitalized or still on paper? If digitalized, via some subscription service behind it or self-hosted?
Mealie is a self-hosted recipe management software that lets you clip online recipes (and view them in a simplified Reader mode) and plan them for the week.
After you plan the meals, Mealie creates a shopping list based on the ingredients in the recipes you saved and planned. I’ve never used it like a simple grocery list, and it might be overkill, but maybe check it out for that extra functionality
KitchenOwl. It’s also a meal planner.
I think, this is looking very good. It has an Android app, which looks nice, it also allows adding “non-kitchen related stuff” (e.g. toilet paper) to the shopping list.
https://grocy.info/ maybe
Apache and nginx are two of the better-known grocery list servers. Just put a text file in /var/www/html.
Great. And using CURL on the phone to access the list, I guess…
I think you’ll find most phones come with a web browser. But I can confirm that I do use Vim to edit the list.
@lemmydividebyzero I’m sure that there are solutions. But I’m doing it via my regular notes in markdown. I’m just typing the list before I go out or whenever some things finish (like detergent) and they’re right there. Whenever I put something in my cart I just add a checkmark next to it (I make my list using checkmarks next to the items with
[ ]).I know, there are Markdown note taking apps like Joplin and I’m using them as a private “knowledge base”, but I wasn’t convinced of them as grocery lists.
@noodlejetski Yes, I saw OP said that. I just answered on the question of how I do it at the end.
If you run home assistant, that has a shopping list. We use that, most other things have a full on meal planner that I don’t want
Yeah I’ve always just used note taking apps for this. Currently been using Notesnook for a couple of years and it’s worked super well for me.
I just wrote something similiar in js
