Cook Mode New
- Turned Culinario into a game: real-time minigames — sear, chop, season, stir.
- Star-gated dishes, a kitchen hub, and real cooking timers under the hood.

July 2026
A big declutter
- Simplified the whole app — leaner Today, Profile, Progress, and Shop screens.
- Made the unit headers compact so the learning path breathes.
- Goal everywhere: not-overcomplicated, easy to grasp.
July 2026
Friends & social, working end-to-end
- Fixed friend invite codes and the friend-invite deep link (auto-fills the code).
- Added "Redeem a code" for win-back and promo offers.
- Deepened the analytics funnel to understand onboarding and retention.
Earlier
Personalized onboarding
- New cooks pick a skill level and a dietary preference up front.
- The Four Pillars spine — salt, acid, fat, heat — now runs through the whole app.
More shipping soon — a public launch inside the Shipaton window, more Cook Mode dishes, and deeper cuisine tracks. Check back weekly.
