Nice! I went bananas when I saw the page. Started to monkey around with the settings. And I went baboom when I saw that it would text me.<p>/* Engage HN filter <i>/<p>How do you plan to monetize this? This is clearly ripe for disrupting the fuits/supermarket economy.

Add photo interpretation (heck, do it manually at first as MVP) and you might get quite a few "colorblind" users. Fruit ripeness is a huge problem for many and bananas are usually the example.

This appears to be running on port 4567, just FYI many firewalls won't allow nonstandard ports. Perhaps port forwarding or a DNAT rule could help you reach a larger audience?
You should add email notifications too. I'm in Canada so my carrier isn't listed, but I want to know when to eat my bananas. Last time I was at the grocery store they only had extremely green bananas so now I'm playing the waiting game.
Add an 'upload a photo' option to automatically set the current banana color. And then I'll have a photo history of all the bananas I've ever eaten as well!

Thinking of a drunk scenario, where I could end up setting bad alerts for me and eating a lot of green bananas; it would be wise to add a drunk check such as simple math sums.
Since HTTP is deprecated, and you can't get TLS certificates for IP addresses, that means pages hosted like this will be at a disadvantage from now on right?
