Scrambled Egg — Recipe-saving mobile app.
A mobile recipe app. Paste a URL, get a clean recipe in your book. No ads, no life stories, no eight-scroll intro before the ingredients.
Every recipe app I've used optimizes for traffic. I wanted one that optimizes for cooks — the people who already know what a soffritto is and just need the ratio. Scrambled Egg's whole product is one idea: paste a URL, get a clean recipe in your book. The import screen is the home screen.
Under the hood it's a three-tier scraping pipeline running on Supabase Edge Functions. Tier 1 parses JSON-LD (covers most recipe blogs). Tier 2 falls back to microdata and common recipe-plugin CSS selectors. Tier 3 is Claude Haiku — pay-as-you-go structured extraction for the stragglers. The result is normalized to a clean schema so every recipe in your book looks the same no matter where it came from.
On top of that: a long-press-to-drag collections system (Pinterest-style pill targets), a step-by-step Cook Mode that keeps the screen awake, and a friends layer for peeking at what people you actually know are cooking. Cross-platform from day one on iOS and Android via Expo + React Native. Supabase for auth, storage, and row-level-secured multi-tenancy. A warm cream-and-sage palette that gets out of the way when there's a recipe photo on the screen.
The first screen you see is a paste field. The product is one idea: URL in, clean recipe out. No life stories, no feed, no ads — just the thing you came for.
