Show HN: Energy and Protein Bar Ranking
barspro.comNot sure if this entirely fits here, but I made BarsPro for my own benefit and wanted to share in case it's valuable to others.
Energy and protein bars have been a huge part of my diet for years (for better or worse). As much as I love food, sometimes it's just easier, faster, and healthier to eat an energy bar.
Unfortunately many brands make bars full of sugar/fat/sodium/questionable ingredients, or don't provide enough protein/fiber/nutrition. One of the most frustrating experiences is staring at a wall of hundreds of bars and having to read through the nutrition facts one-by-one to find something edible.
I manually compiled a list of 700+ bars, their nutrition facts, and ingredients - all to make it easy to quickly find good bars.
Let me know what you think! Hopefully this will be valuable for some.
P.S. None of the content is sponsored (and never will be). This is purely a passion project. Nice! Congrats on shipping and thanks for sharing. What did you use to build this? Thanks for the kind words! Technically it's nothing to write home about. It's a Frankenstein's monster combination of vanilla CSS/JS stitched together with whatever random third-party libraries I could find online. I would not recommend looking under the hood :) Just fyi: there are many good vegan protein bars that didn’t make it on your list. What are some of your favorites? I'd love to add them. So far I've only added whichever bars I've spotted at healthy food stores over the past few months (in Singapore, Australia, and USA).
