A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I am currently using Bring! with my wife to organize our grocery shopping. I am looking for a self hosted alternative. I looked at the awesome self-hosted list and tried Specifically Clementines and of course Grocy. I like that Grocy also includes meal planning although the whole inventory management is too much for us. What I don't like is the interface for both of them. I don't see us using this while in the store with a kid on the arm. It is way too fiddly and complicated. Also adding new items to the list is rather complicated in both apps.

Do you have any suggestions for other projects with a more user friendly interface (even if it means less features)?

We switched to Kitchen Owl and it works out okay. The recipe management is nice in theory, but doesn't work well for most of our recipe sources (because of parsing issues most websites aren't recognized and ingredient amounts are not parsed correctly for German recipes), but we usually just create an empty recipe with a link to the original. This isn't perfect - in hindsight we should have stayed with Bring! because it just works better. We are hoping that the issues will be fixed sometime in the future although I am not sure what to expect...

Huh, sad to hear. Do the recipe sources have the recipe markup or is it parsed directly from html?
