cool! i see at least two reasons in the title to upvote this
lol, ty, Clojure + HTMX have been an amazing combo for this project. and postgres too, for the DB.

#12Very nice, what is the source of the data?
The only source currently for all data is the USDA's Food Data Central. I'm planning on adding more nutrient data sources in the near future.

#13Is there a way to set the default unit?
I'd prefer to see the information per 100g by default (instead using random units).

thanks for the feedback. That's a good suggestion. I will be adding some tweaks soon for improved unit handling. Also another idea I had that I want to implement is being able to compare several foods side by side in a split view (on desktop or tablet landscape modes).

#15Hi HN, I'm Jovan. I've been building Nutrepedia part-time from Monterrey, Mexico. It's a multilingual nutrition reference site: 1,635 foods rendered into 47,415 localized pages across 29 regional locales. Each page has nutrition facts, localized names, portion terms, regional routing, imagery, and short food context. The stack is Clojure, HTTP-Kit, Compojure, Hiccup, HTMX, and Postgres. Postgres handles the food data…
cool projects. bear in mind some languages like Spanish are spoken across different countries. German for example is spoken in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Using the Germany flag is misleading.

#16The search seems a bit weird. A search for salmon includes almonds in the results, and a search for spinach includes Tahitian taro.

Thanks for the feedback. Currently in addition to fuzzy matching the search system will match against synonyms broadly, so some unintended leafy greens would match Spinach as in your example results. I'll have to tweak the fuzzy matching a bit.

#19Great optimization!

#20Looks good. The quantities input box behaves strange on Firefox mobile. Can't seem to delete the input and type something new. Jumps to a default or any number before I get to type my grams.
