I made a very basic web app to make our family meal planning a bit easier.

We’ve been using it for a few months, so now I’m trying to tidy it up so others can use it too.

I need something like this. Would be nice if there was a randomizer.

Mealie supports this with some rules, and you can set up a crontab to randomly plan your week and tweak.

Shows up a lot of limitations about data captured, but as a starter for humans to tweak it's not bad.

Yeah I looked at Mealie and others but I found the interaction design to be so clunky.

I also didn’t want something to have to maintain a library of ideas, just a way to quickly put a plan together and print it.

Spaghetti on tuesday and tacos on friday? Anarchy.

It's wild stuff...

Still better than two spaghetti meals in one day
