That being said I love the idea and this trend of simple and useful comparison apps.
Back in the Yahoo days (which was just before my time) my understanding was that a lot of the internet and links and such were based around a categorization scheme.
Google came through and disrupted that whole business by building Really Effective Search
But now, search is Harder. There's so much junk in terms of content and products that it's hard to really find what you're looking for, and do reasonable comparisons in an effective way.
You see new search engines popping up that focus hard on link provenance
Or the spreadsheets various subreddits build out to compare products (/r/ebikes is an example that comes to mind), disk check or even this site itself is another example
Kinda results in me feeling like a move back towards curated lists collaboratively contributed to alongside some contributor reputation scheme to mitigate bots might be Useful
Or at least some shift back towards directories in some sense.
At least, a site that aggregates all these lists would be quite nice
One thing about protein powder, quality is important and taste is very important. The above tastes really good.
Maybe just me, but I'd like a column (and checkbox on the left) about packaging. I don't know why protein powders require plastic cannisters, and it would seem to me that they are well-suited to something more environmentally friendly, but for some reason so many of them want to use plastic. Otherwise: A nice website!
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Seconding this. Variables I care about are packaging, sweetener additives, and country of manufacture/origin.
Most important IMO is third-party testing along with published results. Concentrating nutrients also concentrates contaminants like lead and PFAS, and many powders have cocoa, which is also notorious for lead contamination.
(Not associated with the brand or with any vendors, it's just the brand I've been buying.)

Plastic keeps out moisture and is less heavy/thinner than glass.
Even then, unless it is recycled aluminum, I'm not sure how much you're gaining, environmentally. Heavier to move, harder to form, probably covered in some sort of coating on the inside anyway. Plastic isn't great- pretty much everything except weight, water impermiability and ease of forming are downsides, but metal isn't free either.
