<p>Hi HN!<p>I built my first Android app and deployed it into production!<p>This app has the following features such as:<p>- AI image recognition: snap a photo and it will estimate the carbs/calories/protein/fats. (not accurate yet but improving on it)
- AI chatbot: to ask for recipes or to log your food
set your fitness targets and it calculates how much nutrition you need daily.
- manual entry of your food & the ability to save food as a favourite
- data exports: to share with your PT
- integration with Health Connect
- track your weight & estimate the number of days to your target weight<p>I'm a solo developer and would love feedback or what other features I should include or add. Initially, I built this for my girlfriend so she could add her food and then export them for her therapist. Her therapist would cross-check the estimates so the AI image recognition didn't have to be 100% accurate - just "good enough" - so I built this app to take a photo and estimate it when storing it.<p>Play Store link: <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.snapneat.ai">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.snapneat.a...</a></p>

<p>Good question! I have added better UX features like the ability to record a voice memo at the end of the day to automate the logging. It would be helpful for someone like a busy professional who is having a hard time to take time out of the day to log his food at every meal... So during his downtime, or before he goes to bed - he can quickly jolt down what he ate and then AI would summarise log it for him.<p>Let me know what you think.</p>

<p>I am working on an AI-powered fitness and food tracker that automatically logs your food based on the photo. One of the difficulties I had when going to the gym is keeping up and sharing macros weekly with my personal trainer. Manually logging food is a hassle and massive pain point - so my app, Eat n Snap attempts to solve this problem. You can also set weight and BMI goals and see your progress on a weekly basis.<p>Sign up for my waitlist (or DM me if you want to know more) here: <a href="https://www.getsnapneat.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.getsnapneat.com</a></p>

<p>Most apps for dev work actually work;
- RStudio 
- VS Code
- WSL2 
- Fusion 360
- Docker<p>Only major exception is:
- Android Studio's Emulator (although, the IDE does work)</p>

<p>I'm holding my breath though. I have a Samsung Edge 4 laptop and I didn't find the battery life impressive - prob got around 6 hours under coding / programming tasks. GPU performance is terrible too.</p>

<p>Its not just CBA, but Westpac, Optus and pretty much any large corporate in Australia.<p>ACS is being a hypocrite since:
1) they charge $$$ fees for validating IT experience so they would never advocate lowering the immgiration rate (its also a conflict of interest). So they have a hand in dismantling Australian tech jobs.
2) they inform the government that there's still a "skills shortage" of developer , when in reality, they do it to suppress wages.</p>
