I'm solving weight and budget issues. Grocery application. Scan barcode of items you're buying in store. List is generated. Define units for each item (12 granolas in a box, 1 unit = 1 granola, etc).

When you log your calories, you can only choose from the foods that you bought and logged. When you use them, the quantity decrements.

You setup reminders for when X food is at Y stock, and get push notifications based on that, an automated grocery list application with a calorie counter to manage your spending on food and weight!

Lost 100lb so far on it.




Interesting. Is this a public-ready application? Would love to see/hear more.


Not for a very long time. I made it using phonegap initially but it's not in the state I want it to be in.

I'm learning OBJC & JAVA via teamtreehouse as fast as I can so I can start building it natively for Android and iPhone.

I really can't stand apps that you're not absolutely thrilled to use, so I won't be releasing my current version.

Maybe in a few months? Anyone want to help out?


I do iOS dev so I could potentially help. Feel free to email if you want to talk more.
