Welcome back to my series of posts on the recipe-management software I’m building. If you haven’t been following along, you’ll probably want to start at the first post. This isn’t so much a tutorial series like my posts on raytracing, just me writing about whatever’s on my mind as I build out my vision of what a recipe manager should be.

This post is more of an experience report from my first few weeks of working with Druid. Before we dig into Druid though, the progress in the last two weeks.
