Does the app tell me if a food I'm eating is Paleo or not? Say I plug in "beef", it'll tell me yes, it's Paleo. if I plug in "Skittles" it'll say no. That'd be tremendously useful, as there are already tons of tracking apps out there.
- joelrunyon 14y agoThe problem with that is there's different definitions of paleo, depending on who you follow and how strict you are. Dairy and legumes are examples of paleo diet foods that are borderline and depend on who you talk to.
- loumf 14y agoExactly. I intend the ratings to be your personal standard. Later I'll have ways for you to use your own data, and optionally, shared data.
- joelrunyon 14y agoThis makes it hard for you to "stick" to it. What if my personal standards on Sunday include candy? If you're going to do this, you should have a preference pane for people to select what foods they want to allow and what they don't before they start and then track them on their individual progress. However, if you start doing that, you've nixed the whole "paleo niche."
- AznHisoka 14y agoRight, the app doesnt have to give a Yes or No answer. There could be a it depends as well. It'll still be useful.
- loumf 14y agoThe idea is that as you track and rate, your personal data will be the best thing to base these features on. That's not in yet, but that's he plan. This is a 1.0 to get you tracking.
