https://rebrickable.com - A LEGO database that shows you which sets you can build from your existing collection, also includes thousands of fan-submitted designs.

this is brilliant. are you interested in doing the exact same thing for food in a refrigerator? I believe the market is larger and the potential impact is greater. Just to make it clear: ingredients:recipes::legos:designs it would be silly to track things inside a refrigerator, but we could track purchases on receipts, and then calculate the amount over time using some smart-decay-rate. Cant assume it's gonna be easy…

http://hasgluten.com (database of gluten-free ingredients in 5 languages) and its successor, not released yet.

I like the idea but my biggest problem isn't ingredients, it's eating out. Having this available on my phone when looking for a place to eat would be a real time saver.
