Delivery story

Al.ta Cucina: social recipes!: a focused product delivered from discovery to release

Challenge

The client needed a focused product for home cooks. The first release needed a recipe discovery feed, saved collections, and community publishing, while managing cold-start and trust concerns.

How we built it

We mapped the core journey and data model first, then delivered a recipe discovery feed as a working vertical slice. The next iteration added saved collections and community publishing, with authentication, validation, loading and failure states designed into each flow. A mobile-first TypeScript build using React Native, Expo, TypeScript, Supabase kept the interface and service contracts consistent; the final weeks focused on QA, accessibility, and release preparation.

Delivery

The delivered 12-week MVP let home cooks complete the core journey without relying on disconnected tools. It provided a small, maintainable foundation for testing demand and prioritising the next release.
