I&#x27;m interested in this space as both a guy who struggles with his weight and a (hobbyist) developer who thinks there&#x27;s room for vast improvement over MyFitnessPal\LoseIt\Cronometer. Also I don&#x27;t think apps should just magically be free but I do think the existing paid versions are too expensive.<p>I like that you\they have centred the different meals and made the names editable, that&#x27;s cool. Cronometer free version just has one huge list.<p>By the way I just tried to scan a barcode (Android 14) and it didn&#x27;t prompt for camera permission, it acted as if I&#x27;d already denied it and directed me to Settings - not a huge deal but you may wanna check that (I&#x27;m assuming OP is the developer).<p>What&#x27;s the goal\business model here? If it&#x27;s not open source but also is completely free? Subscription features coming later or something? Or just a personal project you decided to release?
