Show HN: ChatGPT for calorie tracking. Frictionless diet and exercise tracking

6 pointsby stevehoyek6 months ago
Hi, I&#x27;m Steve and I&#x27;ve built this mobile app to solve my very long-standing problem of not consistently using any calorie tracking apps due to the poor UX (many clicks, too much friction).<p>So, although I am not the best UI&#x2F;UX designer, I have tried to remove friction at every corner with Journable. This applies to the<p>1. Tracking experience: Chat-based interface (think ChatGPT) to log food&#x2F;exercise 2. Onboarding experience: No login screen, no measurements or goals, straight to the main chat window 3. Photo entries: Just take a picture of your plate and done<p>That said, I&#x27;m not the best UI&#x2F;UX designer so I would really appreciate any feedback on the app, and I welcome any and all comments &amp; suggestions. Should I make it easier? Faster? Simpler? Does it need more color? Keen to hear it all!

Just had a play and think its really good! Like that you can start without having to login. I would like to see the constituent elements of the meal laid out and be able to edit each of them rather than just a total for the whole meal. And will it remember meals, or can I have the ability to name and save them, that would make it easier?<p>Personally I would prefer the feedback bit to be for the day rather than each meal as I think that will get boring&#x2F;repetitive (&quot;you had a nice balanced meal&quot; etc.). I know a salad is good and chocolate is bad, I don&#x27;t need an AI to tell me that
