Case study

Sipr, a drink diary.

A web app for logging the drinks you’ve had, rating them your own way, and building a personal ranking of the ones you’d order again.

The goal

Remember the ones worth ordering.

Most people forget what they liked by the next time they’re out. Sipr’s promise is right in its tagline: your drink diary, minus the unreliable memory. Logging had to be quick enough to actually do at the table.

The approach

Fast to log, yours to rate.

  • Built for phones first, because it’s used with one hand at the table.
  • Logging a drink is the main action on the home screen: “Log the evidence.”
  • Ratings use your own criteria instead of a generic five stars.
  • Your last pour and your personal rankings are right there when you open it.

Signature piece

A taste profile that learns.

When Sipr meets an ingredient it doesn’t recognize, it asks you to classify it, then uses that to build your taste profile for future drinks. A small question now makes every recommendation after it better.
