• Can you please share your opinion on app I made with barcode scanning kit and OpenFoodFacts API

  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). I was enjoying android development to I decided to keep this app updated as my hobby... Source: 10 months ago

• I Created an Open Source, Ad Free, Free Vegan Scanning App.

  The best project I have come across that has a commitment to open data is Open Food Facts. Their scanner app is quite good and has a lot of niceties. However, it is not really directed towards vegans specifically, so it shows a lot of other information about nutrition and whatnot beyond whether an item is vegan or not. Therefore, there could be an "opening in the market", so to speak, for a vegan-focused app that... Source: over 1 year ago

You won't find much that is not already written on the label though. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

  I would recommend the open food facts app to everyone looking to see facts about the ingredients in their food, including whether it is vegan. It's a global, open source project that uses data submitted by users so that it can remain open and free. Many vegan scanner apps have proprietary datasets and do not share their data with the community at large, which is what should be done, in my opinion. OFF has some... Source: over 2 years ago
