Show HN: an app to help you shop for food
Wanted to get everyone's feedback on the web app my startup has been working on for the past few months. (didn't want to tweak it anymore before getting feedback from viewers who weren't my friends/family).
http://www.foodia.com
Would definitely love feedback on the UX (which needs work) and whether this is something you'd use before shopping/deciding what to buy.
I'd also love to hear what food problems (if any) you all feel need solving. Thanks. The best food discovery tool I have used is foodspotting.com The reason foodspotting works so well for me is because I am a sight eater. I will try anything but I want to see it first or I won't order it or try your new place. Agreed - foodspotting does food visuals well. We're less about dish discovery, though, and more about food shopping. The problem we're trying to solve is picking through the 100 choices in the cereal aisle, where having pictures of the boxes (which we DO have, btw) isn't as important as how popular, healthy, tasty, or sustainable those items are.
Do you mainly eat out or eat in? Agree that foodspotting is fun, but it doesn't provide the health highlights and nutritional discussion like foodia.com does.
