i love paprika and use it constantly, but I wish the devs were responsive at all.

i previously self-hosted my recipes as plain text on my website and organized/maintained everything manually. I still store them there as such, because it’s easier to share with friends this way. But somewhere along the way I switched to markdown, and have a shceduled script that converts the markdown to html files for that directory. it’s easy and slick.

but now, my main recipe storage is in paprika - on android - and i paid for it and love it. it’s super easy to import recipes from the web, add notes, edit recipes, and maintain a shopping list. it’s important to note that I’ve searched for and have not found a FOSS alternative with such a robust feature set as Paprika, with the excetion of nextcloud (and I’m not interested in that).

i just have two improvements that the paprika team has never even responded to for months: better on-screen formatting (like automatically bulleted lists for ingredients and automatically numbered lists for the directions), and better export options, like something other than plain text (poorly formatted) or pdf. export to html or markdown would save me extra work.

the mobile app is definitely worth the $5 paid, but I have no opinion on the cost of the desktop app.

i’ve been using it for a few years and love it. Started out as a way to keep my to-do and task lists organized and accessible from more than just my phone (f-droid tasks/astrid app is amazing, too). Then I started using the calendar side of it when I started to move away from google crap.

I still need to wrap my monkey brain around reverse proxy so I can access it externally.

Oh, and I wish it had a webdav component for some more fluid file backups and sharing.

i use radicale via davx5 to accomplish the same thing. added bonus is selfhosted calendar and contacts.

i’ve been using a samsung chromebook plus since it launched until now… and it’s end-of-support next month. being a typical human with low funds for new gear, i WAS considering a new chromebook of some kind. The chrome drm bullshit doesn’t effect me too much as I use this mostly within the linux container, or firefox android version… however, I realize i need to take a stand and not financially support these tyrants.

so, what are my options? a pinebook running debian? are there any good netbooks out there? I don’t use this thing for games or streaming media at all - mostly ssh, some browsing, etc. it’s about time I take the final steps to de-goog my life.
