Protocol

Operating principles that guide every decision.

Rule 01
First Principles Thinking
Break everything down to fundamental truths. Don't reason by analogy. Question every assumption. Ask: what would this look like if we built it from scratch with no legacy constraints?
Rule 02
Elon's 5-Step Process
Requirements β†’ Delete β†’ Simplify β†’ Accelerate β†’ Automate. Apply in order. Challenge every requirement, eliminate ruthlessly, optimize only after deletion.
Rule 03
The Input Rule
All inputs are errors. Minimise them relentlessly. Every tap, form field, decision = design failure. Default everything. Opt-out, not opt-in.
Rule 04
Hyper Product Focus
Build fewer things, better. Every feature must answer: "does this help the user achieve their goal faster?" If no β†’ cut it. Time to value is the metric.
Rule 05
Move Fast
Ship ugly before perfect. Perfect never ships. Week 1: working. Week 2: good. Week 4: great. Real feedback beats internal speculation.

Strengths
βœ… THE incumbent β€” 15+ years, most established
βœ… Web clipper parses food blogs
βœ… Meal planner + grocery list (auto-combines ingredients, sorts by aisle)
βœ… One-time purchase β€” huge selling point vs subscriptions
βœ… Cross-platform sync
βœ… Recipe scaling built-in
Weaknesses
❌ UI feels dated/old
❌ No AI β€” relies on HTML scraping
❌ No social media import (IG, TikTok = nothing)
❌ No photo/OCR scanning
❌ No metric conversion between weight/volume
CookBank Edge
🎯 AI photo scan, modern UI, Asian recipes, metric conversion
πŸ”΄ 8/10
Mela
$9.98 iOS Β· $20 macOS (separate!) Β· 4.8β˜… Β· Apple only
Strengths (Sir Ray tested)
βœ… Nice yellow + black UI, popular serif font, dark & light mode β€” classic pairing
βœ… Browser tab with built-in search across recipe sites β€” "Foodle" shows results in one list with photo, title, time, site. Neat & good looking
βœ… Search bar at top of browser works well β€” I should have this
βœ… Auto-captures recipe without pressing a button β€” feels high tech
βœ… RSS feed subscriptions β€” pull recipes from food blogs
βœ… iCloud sync for recipes, browser bookmarks, feed
βœ… Multi-language: English, German, Italian, French, Spanish, Dutch
βœ… Can add tabs at bottom to switch between recipes in cook mode
Weaknesses (Sir Ray tested)
❌ Apple ecosystem ONLY (no Android) β€” iOS and macOS bought separately
❌ No recipes in feed by default
❌ Browser search engines don't work well β€” got stuck, can't go back after selecting one
❌ Foodle search has no ratings β€” I should have ratings in mine
❌ Grocery list uses "reminders" β€” troublesome UX, after adding grocery you're left hanging
❌ Metric conversion didn't work
❌ Cook mode puts steps and ingredients on different pages β€” doesn't make sense
❌ Timer is hidden in cook mode β€” prioritizing minimalism way too much
❌ Auto-capture is neat but then requires manually selecting title, ingredients, photo, notes β€” very low tech and time consuming
❌ RSS feed requires you to find the URL elsewhere and paste it β€” should have browser built in, or use the Foodle search
❌ macOS version seems to have no paywall? Unclear what's gated
Interesting
πŸ” Foodle browser β€” search across recipe sites, view all in one list. I can copy this: give users option of Google search or CookBank search
πŸ” RSS feed subscriptions for recipe blogs β€” interesting content pull model
πŸ” Auto-capture without button press β€” feels premium even if rest is manual
CookBank Edge
🎯 Cross-platform, AI one-shot scan, better cook mode (ingredients + steps together), working metrics, Asian focus, no separate purchase per platform
🟑 7/10
Pestle
$34.98/yr Β· 5β˜… 3K ratings Β· iOS only
Strengths
βœ… Website import is very very fast
βœ… Browser mode β€” choose cuisine β†’ auto-import
βœ… Direct Google search within app β†’ import immediately
βœ… Cook mode next/back/close is very very good
βœ… Has grocery list
βœ… Nutrition info provided per recipe
βœ… Embeds recipe source video directly at top of recipe β€” users can watch in-app
βœ… Discover suggests sites & recipes based on your interest after you add a recipe
βœ… 1000+ import sources, 7-day free trial
Weaknesses (Sir Ray tested)
❌ Metric mode doesn't work at all
❌ Scaling & conversion hidden behind a button β€” bad UI design
❌ Doesn't scale properly β€” salt in 5ml increments
❌ Only ml supported β€” no grams!
❌ Description window for recipe loses to our origin window
❌ Edit recipe tab hidden away (unlike CookBank's always-accessible edit)
❌ Timers have to be manually set β€” terrible
❌ Cook mode puts ingredients on separate page β€” maker clearly doesn't cook
❌ Discover is a Pestle Pro feature β€” recipes on app shouldn't be gated
❌ Meal planning is gated behind paywall
❌ Scanning any recipe is gated β€” 3-step photo process doesn't make sense, no AI involved, have to block off everything to isolate title/ingredients/steps. Very bad.
❌ Must sign up before scanning (friction)
❌ Can't edit recipe steps after import
❌ Auto-import photo broken (blank page)
❌ No quit button in cook mode
❌ Very wordy, confusing interface
❌ Privacy policy doesn't mention recipes at all β€” unclear if they can access your data. No encryption mentioned.
Interesting
πŸ” Reset ingredients feature β€” worth looking into
πŸ” Embeds source video directly in recipe view β€” nice touch
πŸ” Discover is interest-based recommendation, not just a recipe browser β€” different from CookBank's approach
CookBank Edge
🎯 Working metrics, one-shot scan, edit everything, cleaner UX
πŸ”΄ 8/10 ⚠️ RISING
Pluck
Free + premium Β· iOS/Android Β· AI-first
Strengths
βœ… AI-first β€” watches videos, reads images, listens to audio
βœ… Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube extraction
βœ… AI cooking assistant (substitutions, scaling, Q&A)
βœ… Photo extraction with AI vision + confidence scoring
Weaknesses
❌ New/unproven, less mature
❌ Meal planning & grocery lists still on roadmap
❌ AI can hallucinate, subscription model
Why Dangerous
⚠️ Closest to CookBank's AI vision. Targets social media recipe savers. CookBank must differentiate on professional baker workflow.
