## What it is
Norish is a self-hosted, real-time recipe app designed for households to plan meals, share grocery lists, and cook together. It is deployed via Docker Compose with PostgreSQL and Redis backing it.

## Use cases
- self-host a recipe manager for my family
- plan weekly meals with my household
- share a grocery shopping list in real time
- store and organize recipes on my own server
- collaborate on cooking with friends and family

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted alternative to commercial recipe apps
- you need real-time collaboration for meal planning and groceries
- you are comfortable running Docker Compose services

## When to avoid
- you want a mobile-first offline recipe app without a server
- you need a hosted solution with no self-hosting overhead
- you only need a simple single-user recipe storage without collaboration
