About
recipe-card-maker is a recipe collection where plain markdown files are the source of truth — one file per recipe, YAML frontmatter for the metadata, the body for the method. No database, no service, no lock-in. The recipes are just files I own.
A small Python toolchain reads each recipe and produces two things to print: a letter-size page for the kitchen binder and a 4×6 card for the recipe tin. It also builds a categorized index with stats and a tag cloud, so the collection stays browsable as it grows. In-house frontmatter parser, reportlab for the PDF layout.
The markdown corpus is the long game — it’s meant to feed a web app and a native mobile app down the line, both reading the same files this CLI does today.
