New release? Or is this project unmaintained? #1020
Comments
|
There had been a bunch of outside interest in putting together a python3
version of the project, which I've supported, but I don't think that work
is complete.
I've turned my attentions to a web-based version of the program, which is
currently functional for me but definitely in beta. If you're interested in
just having a functional recipe database and up for beta testing, I'd be
happy to have you as an early user of my web-based software.

project is, and whether a release may come in the future at all or not.

Thanks for the really quick response. Great to hear that there's some continuation activity happening both by you and the community. Currently I'm quite literally going through the tens of recipe tools looking for what suits my needs. So I haven't really decided what features I want and how I would want to interact with the tool. I mostly just have way too many printed recipes with lots of notes on them, as well as lots of dishes I've created and perfected throughout the years, and sharing those recipes with friends ends up with me writing out a whole text on WhatsApp or pastebin or whatever, which really isn't ideal. So I'm not sure if I'm the user you're looking for for beta testing, but perhaps you could throw a message out there on Reddit or a mailing list perhaps? |

This is encouraging news, since I've never considered anything but GRM for my recipe files and would have really hated to see it fade away. For the moment I've been running an AppImage and kludging the print parts. A web interface would be welcome - I hacked up a basic voids-the-warranty webapp years ago that allows me to pull up recipes on mobile devices in the kitchen, but something a bit more polished would be great. The more I deal with platforms like VB, Perl and Python, the more I appreciate Java, which for all its warts was designed not to erode with age. But a good Python3 port would be an excellent opportunity to tidy things up. If we get to the point where building RPMs looks good, I'm still in. |

I would be interested in helping. |
|
I have a few pull requests outstanding for quite some time. Does it make sense to rebase them against some other branch or is the non-web program dead? |
|
Hi I can help with testing if you want. |
|
It's a pity you want to quit the standalone version of the software. It will not be possible to use it without an internet connection, and some users may not want to store some recipes in a remote database. |

Hello, Yes we are also interested in helping on this project.
Thank you |
|
I'm interested in helping with the offline app as well as the web version. Many bugs on the version I use at the moment. So will I work for nothing if i start looking for issues i can work on? will it be integrated to the main branch? |

MMorami, the web based version is really entirely separate. The author and
many of the concepts are the same, but it's a totally new codebase. There's
actually a fair bit of support for creating "progressive web apps" that can
work offline, so the path to an offline app probably flows through the web
as well as opposed to creating a totally separate app.
The working version is actually available at www.gourmetrecipemanager.com
if you want to play around with it. Showing my business savvy, lots of
things work, but I login is actually pretty clunky etc. Right now you can
log in through a single sign on or by creating an account -- it's done
through a netlify service so I don't have to manage accounts at all. The
login is a bit buggy (I often have to logout/login/refresh a few times when
it's not working). Obviously if this was a working product, I'd want to
make sure the new user/onboarding/login process was super smooth, but
currently it's a hobby project, so I've made sure it actually works for my
purpose (i.e. I can use it for my recipes on my phone and computer and
share w/ my family). There's not a smooth export from Gourmet yet -- I have
a python script I use to export a DB the web-based version can import that
I can dig up and share if you're interested.
While the login/create account/new user process is super janky, the app has
lots of features I really like, like you can click on an ingredient and it
highlights it in the text, and multiplication works, and timers, and
shopping lists :)

I think the web version is a good idea. I find it not as comfortable that
I got to have my pc with me when cooking.

if i start looking for issues i can work on? will it be integrated to the

For the past year, we've been working on upgrading Gourmet to keep working on newer OSes with Python 3. We've been open to upstream the changes. As such, I forked the project as Gourmand and a fresh release including all the work we've put in is available here. Thank you again Thomas and all others for your work over the years! |

I've mentioned it elsewhere, but I now have a fairly complete port of Gourmet as a web application that can be run either as a public website or on your own desktop. It's available as a Spring Boot application, so the only things you need are an executable copy of the webapp, a Gourmet database, and Java. Oracle Java 11 or OpenJDK should do. You can use Maven as a "one-stop-shop" command to build the executable. No other tools required. I've tried to make it as compatible with the original desktop application as possible and it uses the same database file format as the desktop system does. I'd be interested in any and all feedback. You can see the online demo at https://gourmetj.mousetech.com/main.jsf The project source code is presently downloadable as a git archive from https://gogs.mousetech.com/mtsinc7/GourmetJ-Springboot |
