I am making an app that takes pictures and tries to tell you if the food in the picture has allergens. I didn't know if I should feel humble or just laugh. (I decided it was hilarious in the end) But it made me aim higher in a hackathon last weekend. I also use your app in my elevator pitch for people to understand.

Just wanted to say thanks for the warm welcome from HN when the app was released last month — I hope this blogpost answers the questions that were raised back then. I’d be happy to answer anything else you’d like to know! Original thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14347211 Demo of the app (in the show): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACmydtFDTGs App for iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/app/not-hotdog/id12124…

Thanks for sharing your process. I was inspired by the show to build my own app. It's pretty crazy how quickly you can build something like this now.

At MongoDB World this past week they did a demo of stitch where they actually built something similar with no back end code required and used the Clarifai API and an angular front end. It took like less than 80 minutes and could like run on prod of I wanted.

MongoDB Stitch is a great new BaaS offering. They even have some great tutorials online to use it.

Have a look at their sample PlateSpace app: https://github.com/mongodb/platespace

Very cool new service and some excellent tutorials as well, for example for the PlateSpace web app: https://docs.mongodb.com/stitch/getting-started/platespace-w...

I'd definitely recommend having a look.

Great idea that I would be terrified to pursue from a legal perspective.

I am going to chime in and really suggest they hire a qualified legal professional - if they intend to share this application. A simple disclaimer may not be adequate.

Edit: Typo.

What an ingenious way to covertly distribute the Pied Piper decentralized storage app.

The series finale reveal is that Pied Piper exists and was using the show to fund their company and distribute their software.
