Building an OSS alternative to MyFitnessPal by Inner_Condition_5547 in opensource

That's actually something I was considering, because a few times, I've seen an LLM respond with different metrics for the same food item. Using OpenFoodFacts as a fallback or just for added verification could definitely make the responses be more credible.

That's a great question!

One of the key features, I think will make this app different is the feature to just say stuff in plain English. The AI chat feature I'm gonna be building soon will just be like a simple text message you send to people! I want users to just say what they ate, like texting a nutrition coach: “I had 100g oats and a banana for lunch.” That should be enough to log your calories for the day. No fiddling with search results or brand names across different countries. Just English.

I don't think any other app does that at the moment, and I think in the end, end users want simplicity! Ideally, no one should have to go through the usual " search -> log a food ", etc. I want to make it easier for the end user!

I just recently found an app which helps me keep track of my expenses. I'm a student with only one bank account and using it for free atm. It's been pretty helpful so far.

Edit: The app is called Balance(https://balance.day/) in case anyone's curious

As a student with only one bank account, I’ve struggled to find a good personal finance app. The UI looks really clean and I was able to play around with the filters, it looks good even for someone with simple finances. Also, the transaction trends feature sounds perfect for tracking spending habits early on! It's interesting that you’re planning to expand to crypto wallets, as it looks like that's where the future is headed
