Building Pickle 🥒 (recipes from Reels & TikToks+) | UX & product design in public | Small studio @ Moonfire Sharing experiments & lessons from the journey.

[Curt @CurtMoonfire]

Our app we’ve been building for the past few months is finally launched!

Pickle is a recipe app that turns Instagram and TikTok cooking videos into clean, easy-to-follow recipes.

Search ‘Pickle recipes’ on the App Store or tap the link in my bio

Only available for iPhone atm

Started using the Claude code Figma MCP and seems unreal

This week I’m going to explore it further and to understand more.

How can it integrate and enhance the PM > Design > Dev handoff workflow

[Curt @CurtMoonfire]

Considering starting to do design audits for complex SaaS systems.

Anyone have experience with this? If so, reach out 😁

[Curt @CurtMoonfire]

@adriankuleszo I’ve been meaning to read hooked for a while, I will start it this week

[Curt @CurtMoonfire]

@avstorm Wonder where they got their inspiration from 👀

[Curt @CurtMoonfire]

Anyone used Rive much to create some nice animations and transitions for iOS apps?

Thinking of trying it out

[Curt @CurtMoonfire]

@arvidkahl Gotta stay grounded but still keep building

[Curt @CurtMoonfire]

@alexgilev Yep. Learned this building Pickle.

Every page works better once you decide what its one real job is

[Curt @CurtMoonfire]

@redp314 @levelsio @javilopen @icreatelife @gregisenberg Nice idea, looks like it’s works well

[Curt @CurtMoonfire]

@robj3d3 Congrats Rob!

[Curt @CurtMoonfire]

Recipe imports now work for YouTube and Facebook 🎉

Just drop a video link in Pickle and it’ll pull the recipe right in.

Recipe title, ingredients, everything.

Makes saving recipes you find while scrolling way easier 🍳

[Curt @CurtMoonfire]

@chalaska Congrats Chris, beautiful car!

[Curt @CurtMoonfire]

@chalaska was his approach more storytelling or straight facts?

[Curt @CurtMoonfire]

Good design isn’t always about adding more.

It’s about making what’s already there clearer.

What’s something you’ve simplified recently that made a big difference?

[Curt @CurtMoonfire]

@darylginn Yeah, not always good, but def worth studying why it resonates

[Figma @figma]

Improved vector editing with the Cut tool, any way you slice it

→ Click to split a line or a point
→ Drag to slice across vectors

[Curt @CurtMoonfire]

@marclou Nice Marc

[Curt @CurtMoonfire]

@ormanclark Learned this with time

[Curt @CurtMoonfire]

@rauchg Exactly, trust builds over time and that’s what really lasts

[Curt @CurtMoonfire]

@JayDwivedi_ Nice work Jay that’s a lot of stacked drop shadows

[Curt @CurtMoonfire]
