+* Roux
+
+Roux is a personal/family recipe management site.
+
+It's intended to be low friction for entering recipes and tracking when you've cooked them.
+
+** Cooklang
+
+Roux uses Cooklang (https://cooklang.org/) as a source of truth for all recipe content. Any recipe either starts in Cooklang or is immediately converted to Cooklang by one mechanism or another.
+
+** Other details
+
+*** Cook history
+Roux lets you track when you cook recipes. I like this because we cook a lot of different recipes and I like to be able to go back to find things I liked in the past so I don't forget about them.
+
+** Tech stack
+
+*** Backend API: Haskell + SQLite
+*** Frontend: Static HTML + Pico CSS
+
+The actual backing for recipes themselves is a single cooklang directory with
+an in-process search index that gets rebuilt whenever a file is added to the
+directory.
