Hey r/opensource ! 👋
I’m stoked to share an app that I built over the weekend! I started to build it because I was just annoyed with the slowness of MyFitnessPal and decided to build something on my own. I’ve built this app with Rails, because I really wanted the opportunity to learn and build something with Rails.
Let’s be real - MyFitnessPal is slow, and locks too many features behind paywalls. The ads are overwhelming, which is why I wanted something that is free and can
Features:
Search for foods and log your meals with a clean, fast interface
Track daily calories, macros, and basic nutritional info
Connect with OLLAMA for smart food recognition (planning to add more LLM providers soon!)
Coming Soon:
More graphs to help you visualize your progress over time!
Your own personal AI nutrition coach you can chat with for meal suggestions and advice!
It’s a simple Rails app for now with basic Turbo/Hotwire setup!
I’ll create issues about these features soon! Would love you to collaborate/contribute. Feel free to star this repository, give me feedback about this app!
This is my first foray into open sourcing projects, and if you have any ideas (or face any bugs), feel free to create any issues, or create a PR! Let me know your thoughts! Would you use this?
