Flow · III
A cookbook of your own.
From a library of saved recipes to a book made with you — the boutique route, not the template.
I · Library · populated A library at depth — twenty-seven recipes in the photo waterfall. The book flow begins from the Cookbooks row in the options list above the waterfall, sibling of Collections and Friends. No foot ceremony — every top-level destination lives in one nav grammar.
↳ Tap Cookbooks
Inspect at 1× → II · A cookbook of your own The second hardcover moment in the app. Sage cloth, foil-stamped title. Lede sets the expectation: hardcover, 8×10, designed with you, delivered in about three weeks.
↳ Begin
Inspect at 1× → III · The occasion Step i. Chapter-mark header over a quiet cluster of typographic chips — Mother's Day, Anniversary, Wedding, A phase of life, Just because — with a free-text fallback below. One chip shown in the selected state.
↳ Continue
Inspect at 1× → IV · The recipes Step ii. A stacked list — not the waterfall — of every library recipe with an ochre toggle on the right; filled = in the book, outlined = out. The waterfall stays reserved for in-app browsing. Below, the running colophon: '24 in the book · about 80 pages · around $139.'
↳ Continue
Inspect at 1× → V · Layout Step iii. The structural picker — cover layout (Plate / Full-bleed), then three rows of page layouts organised by photo count (1 / 2 / 3+). The cook has to make the call before the book renders: this is the hand of the boutique route, not a template the system picks. Copy lead: 'Layout. The shape of the book.' Selected thumb carries the ochre hairline ring. Available again later from Settings if the cook changes their mind in Preview.
↳ Continue
Inspect at 1× → VI · Preview & edit Reached after the cook picks a Layout. Defaults to the cover as the first 'page' — tap it to edit title / subtitle / cover photo (lands on VII). Prev/next chevrons page through; tap a spread to edit a page (lands on VIII). 'Review & finalize' proceeds to IX. A right-nav 'Settings' mark opens the sub-flow: Title / Subtitle / Layout / Recipes — Layout still lives there too, for revisiting after seeing the book.
↳ Tap the cover to edit
Inspect at 1× → Settings · sub-flow
Settings The sub-flow landing. Cream TOC — four tappable rows (Title / Subtitle / Layout / Recipes), each showing the current value in Lora italic over a small-caps label. No foot CTA — back chevron returns to Preview; edits commit as they happen.
↳ Tap Title
Inspect at 1× → Title Single-field editor. The value is rendered in the same Lora face it'll wear on the cover so the user judges it in voice, not as a form field. Character count in Oat italic; no iOS keyboard chrome — the cookbook voice doesn't shout.
↳ Done
Inspect at 1× → Subtitle Sibling of Title. Lora italic at 20px matches how the subtitle reads on the cover. Same Done mechanic.
↳ Done
Inspect at 1× → Layout The structural picker — cover layout (Plate / Full-bleed), then three rows of page layouts organised by photo count (1 / 2 / 3+). Same screen as main-line V, available here for the cook to revisit after seeing the book in Preview. Copy lead: 'Layout. The shape of the book.' The selected thumb carries the ochre hairline ring.
↳ Done
Inspect at 1× → Recipes The in-book recipe list — only the 24 currently in the book, not the whole library. A T2-style 'Add from library →' row at the top. Each row carries a drag handle on the right; one row reveals the Alert-Rust 'Remove' action to teach the long-press mechanic. Shares the list primitive with IV.
↳ Back
Inspect at 1× → VII · The cover Reached from Preview when the user taps the cover. Cover PREVIEW is the interface — tap title / subtitle / photo on the rendered cover to edit each. Below the cover, a horizontal scroller of alternate cover photos. Contextual edit surface, not a numbered step on the main line.
↳ Done
Inspect at 1× → VIII · The page Reached from Preview when the user taps one of the two pages on a spread. Edits ONE page at a time (not the whole spread). Display → LAYOUT row (interactive 2 thumbs) → PHOTO row (scrollable) → Done. Both layout variants pre-rendered; clicking a thumb swaps which is visible.
↳ Done
Inspect at 1× → IX · Review & finalize The traditional review surface. Cover shown prominently at the top with a shadow-lift, like a product laid on the table. Title + italic subtitle beneath. Thin ochre rule, then four labeled rows — IN THE BOOK, FORMAT, DELIVERY, INDICATIVE PRICE — each stacking a small-caps Ochre label over an italic Lora value with --b-divider between. A quiet italic aside sets expectations (proof before printing). Foot carries the ONE Primary foil CTA in Flow III: 'Send to Hearth Press.'
↳ Send to Hearth Press
Inspect at 1× → X · On its way Closes the way Welcome and the book Invitation opened — sage cloth, foil. Hearth Press eyebrow, foil-stamped Lora italic 'On its way.', 44×1.5px foil chapter rule, a two-line italic-Linen stanza explaining the proof + press step. At the foot, a '— thank you —' folio in foil-light and a T2 tertiary 'Return to your library →' in italic Linen so the user has a way out without disturbing the ceremonial close.
