I have been using it! With enough variety of recipes it is pretty slick!

Not always perfect, but gives us enough of an opinion to motivate us to choose something more appetizing!

I just ran across this. It might be of interest in conjunction with Mealie: https://github.com/GerardPolloRebozado/social-to-mealie

I haven't tried the meal planner side of things yet but this has been a great app for managing my favorite recipes.

I mostly use it to track (and tweak) recipes that are safe for me with my food allergies, and from that perspective its great. Despite having all kinds of options to OCR recipes, import them, whatever, my wife just... hasn't bothered.

So I haven't really used the meal planner yet, I need to get her using it more often :)

Only using Mealie as a recipe manager at the moment. Haven't used the meal planner function. Sounds interesting though and might give it a try.

So far we've just been using it manually to plan meals and go shopping, I hadn't thought about having it automatically choose meals.

mealie needs nutritional data for the recipes.

I love this software. I started self hosting it as a way to make grocery lists easier for my family.

So far I don't have many recepies in it yet. We are planning to add a lot of regular meals to it to have a list to pick from easier.

I'm not quite sure what rules you mean to tighten up.

It works fine for general planning. There's even a random button if you just don't want to choose.

I have a jank home assistant automation that adds my meal plans into my Google Calendar as well.
