So we built Saved Places.

Now when you discover a restaurant, café, or food spot you love on Flavorist, you can save it instantly and come back to it anytime later.

No more digging through chats.
No more endless scrolling trying to find that one place again.

Whether you’re building your café wishlist, planning a weekend food trip, or collecting hidden gems from creators, Saved Places keeps everything in one simple space.

We wanted the experience to feel lightweight, fast, and natural. Just tap save and it’s there whenever you need it.

You can also organize places into collections to make discovering and revisiting food spots even easier.

This is only the beginning. We’re slowly rolling the feature out to a small group of users first while we improve the experience before releasing it to everyone.

Food memories are personal.
We think they deserve a better home.

With love,
The Flavorist Team

Not just inside an app but with friends, followers, and anyone who loves discovering something delicious.

So we built something simple, but powerful.

You can now share your Flavorist posts directly to your favorite social platforms including Instagram Stories.

Not Just Another Share Button

We know… every app has a share button.

But when it comes to food, how it looks matters just as much as where it goes.

We wanted your posts to feel just as good outside Flavorist as they do inside it.

So when you share, your content doesn’t turn into a boring link.
It becomes something visual, clean, and actually worth posting.

Almost like your dish stepping out into the world on its own.

What You Can Do Now

With this update, you can:

• Share your posts to Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook, and Snapchat
• Add your posts directly to your Instagram Story
• Send better-looking previews instead of plain links
• Reach more people without doing anything extra

Built for People Who Love Food

If you’ve ever taken time to plate a dish, capture the perfect angle, or write about what made it special—you already know this:

Food is not just content. It’s expression.

We built this feature to respect that.

So your posts:

• Still look beautiful
• Still feel like yours
• Still make someone stop scrolling

Why This Matters

Flavorist isn’t just where you upload food.

It’s where your food story starts.

Now, it doesn’t have to stay there.

You can share it anywhere, grow your audience naturally, and bring more people into what you’re creating.

Try It Today

Next time you post something you love, just tap Share.

Send it to your story. Send it to your friends. Send it everywhere.

Because good food isn’t meant to stay in one place.

Team Flavorist

When you open your profile, you’ll see numbers like Saves and Reactions. These numbers reflect how people interact with what you share. But we realized something important, not everyone knows exactly what they mean.

So we made a simple improvement.

Tap to Understand

Now, when you tap on your stats, you’ll see a quick explanation in a bottom sheet.

• Total Saves shows how many people saved your posts to come back later
• Total Reactions shows the total engagement your posts have received

It’s a small interaction, but it gives you more clarity about your activity and impact.

Why This Matters

Your profile is more than just numbers. It reflects your taste, your ideas, and the recipes you choose to share.

We want to make sure that every number you see actually makes sense to you. No guessing, no confusion.

Instead of adding more screens or making things complicated, we focused on keeping it simple. Just tap and understand.

Designed for a Better Experience

The new info sheets are quick, lightweight, and easy to dismiss. They appear only when you need them and stay out of your way the rest of the time.

Always Improving

This is part of our ongoing effort to make Flavorist more intuitive and user-friendly, one small improvement at a time.

If you have thoughts or feedback, we’d love to hear from you.

Not big flashy changes. Just fixing what actually matters.

Because getting started on an app shouldn’t feel confusing or slow it should just work.

Making onboarding simple (finally)

Earlier, getting into Flavorist took more steps than it should.

Now, it’s much cleaner.

You can sign up using Google, Apple, email, or phone. The flow is shorter, and each step is clearer. Verification is faster, and you don’t get stuck wondering what to do next.

We focused on one thing here:
get users inside the app as quickly as possible.

Setting preferences that actually help

Instead of showing random content at the start, we now ask a few simple things:

• what kind of food you like
• your diet preference
• cuisines you’re into

That’s it.

This helps us show better content from the beginning, instead of making users search for things manually.

Profile setup without the friction

We reduced unnecessary inputs.

Username, name, profile photo done in a few quick steps.

Nothing feels heavy, and nothing slows you down.

Permissions, but explained properly

We also changed how we ask for permissions.

Now it’s clearer why we ask for things like notifications, contacts, or location. Users can choose what they want no confusion.

Helping users connect earlier

Flavorist is better when you follow people.

So during onboarding, we make it easier to:

• find friends
• follow people
• start building your feed early

This helps new users feel something is happening immediately, instead of seeing an empty app.

A cleaner, more consistent design

Along with onboarding, we updated the overall look.

Spacing, buttons, layouts everything is more consistent now. It’s easier to read, easier to navigate, and just feels better to use.

Nothing dramatic. Just more refined.

Performance improvements

We also fixed a bunch of small issues:

• reduced loading time
• smoother transitions
• better stability

Things you may not notice directly, but you’ll feel while using the app.

What this means

This update is mainly about one thing:

removing friction.

Less waiting, less confusion, fewer steps.

Just open the app and start exploring food.

What’s next

We’re continuing to improve things step by step.

More updates coming soon.

As the Flavorist community continues to grow, we’ve been working on making it easier for everyone to organize and find the food they save. Today we’re introducing improvements to Collections and Cookbooks, along with a new feature that helps you find saved posts faster.

Understanding Collections on Flavorist

Collections are designed to help you save and organize posts and recipes you discover on Flavorist. Instead of losing a great dish in your feed, you can save it and come back to it anytime.

To make this clearer for new users, we’ve added a helpful introduction screen inside the app that explains how collections work.

There are two types of collections on Flavorist.

General Collections

General Collections are automatically created when you save posts you like.

They act as a simple place to store inspiration without needing to organize everything right away. When you see a recipe or food post you enjoy, you can save it instantly and it will appear in your general collection.

This makes it easy to collect ideas as you explore the app.

Cookbooks

Cookbooks allow you to create your own custom collections.

Think of them as folders where you can organize recipes and food posts in a way that makes sense for you. For example, you might create cookbooks for weeknight dinners, desserts, healthy meals, or recipes you want to try during the holidays.

With cookbooks, your saved posts become a structured food library you can easily return to whenever you need inspiration.

New: Search Within Collections

As collections grow, scrolling through saved posts can take time. To make this easier, we’ve added the ability to search within collections.

Now you can quickly find posts inside your saved collections by searching for keywords like pasta, chicken, cake, or salad. Instead of browsing through everything, you can go straight to the recipe or dish you’re looking for.

This feature makes collections and cookbooks much more useful as your saved posts grow.

Continuing to Improve Flavorist

Flavorist is built for people who love discovering, sharing, and organizing food. Every update we release is focused on making that experience better for our community.

These improvements to collections are part of our effort to help users turn the food they save into a personal and organized cooking resource.

We’re excited to see how you use collections and cookbooks to build your own food library on Flavorist.

Happy cooking!

When we started Flavorist, we kept things small on purpose.

We used a waitlist and invite system so we could learn, fix things, and grow carefully. Our early users helped us shape the app with honest feedback what worked, what didn’t, and what really mattered to food lovers.

Thanks to that support, Flavorist has grown into something we’re proud of.

And now, it’s time to open the doors.

No More Waiting

From today, anyone can join Flavorist.
No more waitlist. No invite codes. No barriers.

If you love food cooking it, eating it, photographing it, or talking about it you’re welcome here.

Why We Built Flavorist

Flavorist exists because food is more than content.
It’s memory, culture, comfort, and connection.

We wanted a space where:

• Sharing a meal feels natural
• Recipes don’t get lost in noise
• Food lovers actually find each other

Not another generic feed but a place that feels right for food.

What You Can Do on Flavorist

On Flavorist, you can:

• Share your everyday meals or special dishes
• Post and explore recipes
• Save restaurants and food spots you love
• Connect with people who genuinely care about food

No pressure to be perfect. Just be real.

What’s Coming Next

Opening Flavorist to everyone is just the beginning.

We’ll keep improving the app, listening to feedback, and building features that make food discovery easier and more enjoyable. Flavorist will grow but always with the community at the center.
