About the app

Why it exists

Most people stop tracking their food because logging a meal takes too long. TheBestOfYou attacks that directly: photograph a plate, describe it in a sentence, or scan a barcode, and the entry is written for you.

It began as a university thesis project and grew into a working product: an account-based app with a NestJS backend, a Preact web client and a native Android build, running in production.

What it does

  • Barcode scanning Native camera scanning via Open Food Facts
