Pros of Mealie

Code Comparison
Mealie (Vue.js component):
<template>
<div class="recipe-card">
<h2>{{ recipe.name }}</h2>
<img :src="recipe.image" :alt="recipe.name">
<p>{{ recipe.description }}</p>
</div>
</template>
Recipes (Django template):
<div class="recipe-card">
<h2>{{ recipe.name }}</h2>
<img src="{{ recipe.image.url }}" alt="{{ recipe.name }}">
<p>{{ recipe.description }}</p>
</div>
Both projects aim to provide recipe management solutions, but they differ in their tech stacks and approach. Mealie offers a more modern frontend experience with Vue.js, while Recipes uses Django's traditional server-side rendering. Mealie's UI is generally considered more polished, but Recipes has a larger community and may be more suitable for those familiar with Django. The code comparison shows the difference in templating syntax between Vue.js and Django templates.

- Host at Hetzner We have been very happy customers of Hetzner for multiple years for all of our projects.

License
Beginning with version 0.10.0 the code in this repository is licensed under the GNU AGPL v3 license with a common clause selling exception. See LICENSE.md for details.
NOTE: There appears to be a whole range of legal issues with licensing anything other than the standard completely open licenses. I am in the process of getting some professional legal advice to sort out these issues. Please also see Issue 238 for some discussion and reasoning regarding the topic.
Reasoning This software and all its features are and will always be free for everyone to use and enjoy.
The reason for the selling exception is that a significant amount of time was spend over multiple years to develop this software. A paid hosted version which will be identical in features and code base to the software offered in this repository will likely be released in the future (including all features needed to sell a hosted version as they might also be useful for personal use). This will not only benefit me personally but also everyone who self-hosts this software as any profits made through selling the hosted option allow me to spend more time developing and improving the software for everyone. Selling exceptions are approved by Richard Stallman and the common clause license is very permissive (see the FAQ).
