Open Food Facts VS Yuka

Super interesting project. I also started once a project to index food and their ingredients via gpt. The inaccuracy let me abandon the project. But never tried the new gpts for that. One great resource is also: https://world.openfoodfacts.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

But I also uploaded my app on Play Store and Samsung Galaxy store. On play store I was not getting any downloads (I was aware that it's going to happen so it was not a disappointment) but on Galaxy Store I got around 50 downloads within few months and now just going to complete 1000 downloads (lol I didn't even expect it).

If you want to use “healthier” hair products, I’ve been using the Yuka app to find better products.you basically scan the barcode and it gives you a rating from bad-excellent on a 0-100 scale.
