Added recipe for Nomie (swarm)
Do you wish you had a chart showing your exercise, weight, or pooping trends over the past month? Nomie is a beautiful life/self-tracking app, an 8-year labor of love from developer Brandon Corbin.
Brandon has recently shut down the commercially hosted version of Nomie, but open-sourced all the code, so one of the geekier alternatives, buyoued by the still-passionate community of users, is to run your own Nomie instance...
It's a PWA with local storage, why self-host at all?
Yes, you could just use https://open-nomie.github.io/, and since the PWA stores your data in your local browser store anyway, you'd get all the functionality without having to deploy a thing. However, if you want to use Nomie from multiple browsers, (i.e., your phone and your desktop), you'll need a way to sync the data, which, in this case, requires your own CouchDB instance. And if you're going to self-host CouchDB, you may as well self-host the PWA too!
To this end, in this recipe, I'll assume we want CouchDB syncing (after all, who only uses one device these days?)
