Fantastic!! Going to check this out, love a good rust project, too.
Hey, OP, do you have any thoughts about putting your app on F-Droid?
Getting it on F-droid is on the to-do list once I'm confident I don't need to make any backwards incompatible changes going forward!
Seconding this! Having the ability to get update alerts helps me remember to install them.
...and/or adding .apk releases in github? (I doubt many will build from source)
The Apk is already added in the release.
That's me! I've been looking for exactly something like this but don't have the knowledge to build from source.
I have to say it looks very interesting, I was looking for something like that years ago and couldn't find it so I ended up paying for some app for subscription for two years, but it's always uneasy when they push your very personal data to their own servers.
I was very positively surprised that the first Korean package I scanned was already in the database, because the other app struggles with that a lot.
But the UI is nor really working well on my Samsung S24 Ultra:
- Dark purple on gray is difficult to read
- each headline seems to be cut off at the top
- Cancel is cut off on the left
- the g for grams is all over the place
- Brand is not centered and not aligned with the kcal
And this is only on this view, the other views have similar problems like that text in the menu is centered for some reason instead of aligned left with the icons. Padding is very different for each widget and text, etc.
I still might end up using it anyway and hoping for a more consistent ui down the line anyway ^^
This is why getting more people to test is good! On both my phone and my wife's nothing is cutoff so I haven't run into these UI issues before.
The g for grams being all over the place is actually a bit intentional. For the nutrients it's a label that can't be changed which is why it's right aligned and grey. Serving amount is just a string so it could be anything. Serving quantity the g is actually a button to convert to different units which is why it looks different.
I understand that the overall UX is probably the weakest part of the app. I'm more of a backend engineer that dabbles in frontend haha
!fitness@lemmy.world might appreciate this
