I had this database in mind too, thanks! Btw Bard has deterministic output as I learned

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions. I can't open the images but I get the problem. Will check on that

I see, also similar to Yuka. That can indeed work well for an established user base. I'd focus on food databases now, but reporting nutrients for items as a user is interesting for the future! I was actually surprised about the GPT cost. The HN launch was about 3 dollars :) If you are interested about the future, I added a form to collect feedback and stay in touch with users :) https://forms.gle/AN7e85MwqehPTQoE6

I was also thinking about monetization, but was more thinking of a SaaS for consumers. Do you happen to know the grocery industry to know more about their interests for the app? I mainly see it as a way for them to place ads in the app

That's a fair point! I can add a feature to remove items from the receipt. The option to manually add items bought earlier already exists. It's not about daily nutrition, but to understand the overall nutrition over let's say a week.

Sure! If you want to have a quick chat about it, shoot me an email at [email protected] Happy to see how I can adjust it

If they contain the meal name, you can do this :) Otherwise you can also manually add the meal name. I'm however not sure about the accuracy of entire meals yet

Sorry, the traffic exceeded the API quota. You can try again now :)

I would have thought the same until I found yuka (https://yuka.io/en/) and saw that they make multi-millions per year.

Good idea! Do you know people with this condition who would want to exchange about it?

I was also playing with Cloud Vision API, and it was good but found the formatting not always easily usable. GPT vision API is great for general recognition

Good point! What would be most valuable to you from this data? Recipe suggestions could be one thing, but I guess most people build their shopping list from recipes. Re-ordering is probably something that retailers will try to make easy.
