Uses Playwright to drive Chromium when the primary requests-based fetch fails (e.g., Cloudflare, JS-required pages). Hybrid approach: try fast path first, fall back to Chromium only on failure. Dockerfile: add playwright==1.52.0 pip package, run playwright install-deps chromium + playwright install chromium to download the browser and all system libraries. scrape-recipe: add fetch_with_chromium() that tries Playwright first, then chromium --headless --dump-dom as a subprocess fallback. Modify main() to catch primary fetch errors and call Chromium fallback before giving up.
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.
Technical details
Development environment
Docker is used for all development tools. Nothing is required to be installed on the local machine except Docker.
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.
Project structure:
cooklang-hs
A Cooklang parser written in Haskell.
roux-server
The webserver for Roux. Parses Cooklang files on disk, indexes them, renders HTML templates for presenting recipes.
