Took a minute to find things that are in the DB, but once I did this is pretty slick. If I can join the endless queue of feature requests, the ability to scale the portion size and update the nutrition facts would be great. I've been tracking my macros daily for about 18 months and for me to hit my protein and stay under my calories I do a lot of what I call speculative food tracking. Sitting on the couch, thinking about a snack, if I go into the kitchen without a plan I'm gonna eat a lot of unintentional things but if I can go "okay, I have about 300 calories to spare and I'm short 40g protein today, so I can put 5 oz chicken breast on a 60 calorie wheat pita with some hot sauce for (calorie) free flavor and I'll win today".

Also IDK where AI is wrt automated scraping but I've had some success feeding recipes into AI and getting the nutrition facts out. The ability to plop a URL in and get a scraped recipe with a name and nutrition facts would be immense.
