Living Document Notice
Staged 2026-09-28. Living revisions and interconnected notes live in the Bosun PKM Garden.
Plain-Text Recipe Truth and YAML Frontmatter Architecture
Commercial recipe platforms lock user-generated culinary knowledge behind proprietary web databases and ad-bloated interfaces. Galley treats recipes as durable, offline-first UTF-8 CommonMark notes structured with strict YAML frontmatter.
Recipe Storage Invariants
- Plain-Text Sovereignty: Recipe notes remain 100% human-readable and mechanically parseable even if all supporting SQLite databases and cache layers are destroyed.
- Strict Frontmatter Schemas: Ingredient lists, prep metrics, and yield targets serialize directly into standardized YAML blocks for local querying.
- Zero Cloud Dependencies: All recipe rendering, parsing, and data retrieval execute entirely on local hardware.
Plain-text sovereignty guarantees lifetime access to personal culinary archives without cloud lock-in.
