- Comment on drinks with inline, animated comment threads
- Save favourites to build your own personal drink collection
- Upload drinks with image cropping and full drink metadata
- User profiles with unique usernames and personalised collections
Tech Stack

Install as a Web App on iPhone
Simple Drinks works as a Progressive Web App, so you can add it to your home screen for a native app-like experience:
- Open Safari on your iPhone and navigate to Simple Drinks
- Tap the Share button (the square with an arrow pointing up) at the bottom of the screen
- Scroll down and tap "Add to Home Screen"
- Give it a name (or keep "Simple Drinks") and tap Add
- The app icon will appear on your home screen — tap it to launch Simple Drinks in full-screen mode, just like a native app
Tip: On Android, open the site in Chrome, tap the three-dot menu, and select "Add to Home screen" for the same experience.
