I'm working on a solution to the age-old problem of tracking my food intake. Every app I have every tried from the many dozens on the market has not met my need of a low friction simple UI tool, so I've built it myself.
I've built Journable, a simple & frictionless chat-based & photo-based calorie tracker. Just type in what you've eaten, in as much or as little detail as you can. Or type in what you did for exercise. Or just snap a photo of your plate. Whatever works for you.

- benfarahmand 2y agoI had to track my physical inputs and outputs for a week for medical reasons and I used a google form. I placed a shortcut on my phone and it immediately opened the form for simple and easy tracking. Everything was then saved to a spreadsheet, which I could analyze once my week was done.
- bloopernova 2y agoI've wondered if a camera you "show" your groceries to as you unpack them would be enough to track incoming items accurately. Or a couple of cameras around the kitchen, with an ML setup that recognizes both incoming food items, and their use in cooking. Then it could give you notifications/calendar items on things expiring :)
- sss111 2y agohow do you buy your groceries, I wonder if a solution that scans the receipts might be better lol
- bloopernova 2y agoMy grocer emails a receipt, so it's even better, lol. Although at the store they print out a short receipt with nothing on it, and I had that in mind when thinking of the "ML scanning groceries" bit. whoops!
