Hi Product Hunt! I’ve been a software engineer for over 20 years, and my wife is a professional chef.
A while back she asked me to help her keep track of recipes she found online. Food blogs drove her crazy: ads, popups, and a life story to scroll past before you reach the ingredients. I told her to download a recipe app. She already had, more than once, and kept running into limits. Her actual system was pasting everything into a Google Doc.
So I built Platefolio. Paste a link, a block of text, or a photo of a handwritten card, and you get just the recipe, saved in your library.
Right before all this I’d discovered Cooking for Engineers, an old site that lays a recipe out as a table where ingredients flow into each step. My wife said it made no sense. I thought it was easier to follow than any recipe I’d read. That’s why Platefolio has five ways to view every recipe: Traditional, Cook mode, Notecard, Flowchart and Rails, and you can choose the format for each recipe.
The free tier includes all five formats, unlimited recipes and 25 imports. Head Chef is $12 a year for unlimited imports and up to five people in your household.
I’d love your feedback on anything: what’s missing, what’s confusing, what you’d change. And tell me which format is your favorite, and why it’s the Cooking for Engineers flowchart.
