The problem

Nutrition trackers fail on the same thing. Logging a meal takes long enough that people stop doing it after a fortnight. Every one of them has a database of two million foods and a search that makes you scroll past nineteen brands of rice to find rice.

What I am building

The whole product is downstream of one number: seconds to log a meal. Everything else, the database, the macros, the charts, exists only if it does not push that number up. That is the thing being solved, and it is the reason the feature list is short.

Everything else exists only if it does not push that number up.

The only metric

Seconds to log a meal. That is the number the whole product is judged on, and it is the reason the food database is deliberately small and opinionated rather than exhaustive. Two million entries and a search that makes you scroll past nineteen brands of rice to find rice is not a feature, it is the failure.

Where it is

In progress. The open question is whether the logging flow holds up past the fortnight mark, which is where every other tracker I have used lost me.
