- brogrammernot 7y agoJoy app vs MyFitnessPal in a nutshell?
- silviogutierrez 7y agoJoy: once you learn the ropes, it's an order of magnitude faster to add entries. It was designed to be opened for as little as possible each day. If you make it hard to log your food, you won't do it. This makes it trivial. Also, there are no community-entered foods. This is a feature in most cases. All the food is either from a professionally curated database (Nutritionix) or custom foods you enter.
- bochoh 7y agoWhat does revenue vs hosting costs look like for something like this?
- silviogutierrez 7y agoHosting is not a big expense, though I recently migrated from Linode to GCP for redundancy and infrastructure-as-code (Kubernetes)[1]. This increased expenses substantially. The professionally curated foods and CPG[2] source is a much bigger expense. [1] Linode has since added k8s. I've always had a great experience with them. [2] Consumer packaged goods, think items with barcodes.
