# Project: Yumlog #proj/yumlog --- ## Summary AI Food/Calorie/Macro tracker. Take a photo of your food, and roughly record its macros. --- ## Thoughts 2025-08-28 I think it's clear that the better model instead of having an automatic sign in is allow people to use the platform and feed a puppy. Nano Banana from google came out a couple days ago and I think I can leverage it to create custom animals for people. Maybe I create like 5 to choose from to start before i start making it generative. People -- Exact matching on macros is important to a number of people. Being able to adjust the macros on a per ingredient level seems useful But the goal of the project is to be more like Mint, and less like YNAB. Less MyFitnessPal and more automatic. It would be cool to be able to pull data from smart scales. If you weigh a particular amount, exercised a particular amount, and eat things, could you back calculate the amount you ate that day. Goals seem to be a key feature. Is the goal to gain weight? Lose weight? Build muscle? Follow a particular diet? Eliminate irritation? --- ## Tasks - [ ] Adjustable macros - if it gets it wrong i want to fix it. - [ ] Adjustable ingredients - [ ] Prettify the UX? UX is king - [x] Add goals - maybe a yumdog? - [x] recent meals do not meet goals very well. maybe a more robust goal calculator. ## Feedback - [x] Sometimes gets lunch/dinner better - [x] Log for previous days? - [x] Add nutrients - [ ] create a cookied onboarding experience with no sign up. - [ ] ```dataview TASK from #proj/yumlog where !completed and contains(tags, "proj/yumlog") group by link(file.name) sort due asc ```
