I have planned, no I've been working on something like this but like so many pet projects it's not finished yet and now the frontend libraries have advanced so much that I have to almost restart the project, at least the Angular frontend.
Where do you receive the nutrition information from?
What is this: hxxps://az416426.vo.msecnd.net/scripts/a/ai.0.js ? And why is it there? It was adblocked by my browser.
I see... telemetry... of course a new website needs telemetry... not like you can't do this already with a logging middleware, no you have to push azure cloud telemetry down your visitor's throats/browser.
The site is very slow.
Also I'm not buying the story.

- guhidalg 4y agoThe nutrition information comes from publicly available USDA data https://fdc.nal.usda.gov https://fdc.nal.usda.gov That script you ad-blocked is injected by Application Insights in Azure. We use Application Insights as our APM system, but of course you're free to ad-block it. I increased our VM size after the HN traffic wave, it should be better now. Ok, sorry to hear that :) it's a true story.
