SpoonMe
Keep recipes. Share food.
SpoonMe is a food journal with recipes and a social feed. In 2024 I was a major contributor to its native iOS app.
The problem
People keep recipes in many places: websites, screenshots, notes, and memory. SpoonMe puts recipes, food logs, and friends in one app.
Saving a recipe from the web had to be faster than copying it by hand.
Bring a recipe in from a link
I built the iOS side of recipe import. A person pastes a link to a recipe, and the recipe comes into the app.
The person can then edit the imported recipe like any other. Import saves the typing, and editing keeps the person in control.
Keep recipes in cookbooks
I built cookbooks, and recipe creation and editing. Saved recipes stay together and are easy to find later.
A recipe from a link and a recipe typed by hand end up in the same cookbooks.
Log food and share it
I worked on the food log, the feed, profiles, sign-in, push notifications, and nutrition onboarding.
I also did supporting GraphQL and API work so these screens had the data they needed.
What I built
- Recipe import from a link, plus recipe creation and editing
- Cookbooks for saved recipes
- Feed and profile screens
- Sign-in and account flows
- Push notifications
- Nutrition onboarding
- Supporting GraphQL and API work
Result
- I was the largest individual contributor to the iOS codebase during 2024.
- In a 2024 App Store review, a user said recipe import from a link saved them time and kept their recipes in one place.
The food log is a 2024 app image. The App Store images show the current product, which includes work after 2024. SpoonMe 3.0 and the Android app are not my work.
