Keep your sourdough starter fed. Track your sourdough lineage. Follow your friends. KEEP TRACK OF FEEDING YOUR STARTER Tell Breadkin how often you feed your sourdough — daily or weekly — and it nudges you on your own schedule. TRACK YOUR SOURDOUGH LINEAGE Every sourdough starter came from another one. Name yours and link it to the starter it came from. The family tree draws itself: every generation above you, and everyone you have passed a piece to. FOLLOW YOUR FRIENDS Post a loaf with a photo, or just what you ate. See what your friends are baking, and what their starters have made. No points. No leaderboards. Just your jar, where it came from, and the people you gave it to.
