This is awesome! I wanted to do something same but was going with the approach that people would be incentivized to enter/map nutritional information for line items on their receipt...and then implicitly contribute that to the community (like how MyFitnessPal works.)

Ultimately there arent that many grocery stores and there arent that many popular items, so you'd get an 80/20 approach.

Also curious about the GPT approach, are you worried about the cost exploding with a GPT approach?

I see, also similar to Yuka. That can indeed work well for an established user base. I'd focus on food databases now, but reporting nutrients for items as a user is interesting for the future! I was actually surprised about the GPT cost. The HN launch was about 3 dollars :) If you are interested about the future, I added a form to collect feedback and stay in touch with users :) https://forms.gle/AN7e85MwqehPTQoE6
