Every recipe, served your way

September 15, 2026 Recipe manager where you pick each recipe's view: traditional, notecard, Cooking for Engineers flowchart, Rails, or cook mode

Platefolio is a recipe manager built around one idea: the layout of a recipe should be a choice, not the app's decision. The same recipe renders five ways and you pick per recipe:

  • Traditional: a clean cookbook-style page
  • Notecard: a 4x6 index card, print-friendly
  • Flowchart: a Cooking for Engineers style table, ingredients enter on the left and merge rightward into steps
  • Rails: a vertical, mobile-friendly take on the flowchart
  • Cook mode: one step at a time, with checkable ingredients and steps

You can see all five on the landing page, no signup needed: https://platefolio.app. There's one live public recipe to poke at too: https://platefolio.app/r/kona-coffee-old-fashioned-f494c178

Under the hood, import is fully deterministic (no LLM): URL import walks schema.org JSON-LD, then microdata, then microformats, then a readability fallback. And no ads, ever, the plan is a cheap yearly subscription.

Just opened it up for beta. Looking for honest feedback, especially where the import parser falls over on recipes you actually cook.

Every recipe app locks you into one layout. I wanted the layout to be a choice per recipe: a clean page, a notecard, a Cooking for Engineers flowchart, or a step-by-step cook mode. All without having to fight ads!
