Re: Show HN: KetoHunt.com – A curated list of keto-friendly products
#2Hey! Creator here. KetoHunt is a simple web app I built a while back while searching for foods I could eat on my ketogenic diet. It's nothing special, just a simple Rails app and a mailing list.
I try to add a few products per day and may build additional features if the interest is there. Thanks for checking it out. :D

That's correct -- I hand curated the products and entered their nutrition info. The actual application is the product funnel / data entry side. My goal is to create a curated, searchable list of keto-friendly products.

#5I've been doing keto for 2 years. This is actually pretty cool, I found a few things I want to try. You should add ratings and track clicks and use the data to add a way to sort by popularity.

That's a great idea! I'll make a note to do that.

If this is "curated", please give examples of keto products on Amazon that failed to meet your curation standards... and indicate why no keto product that you don't make affiliate money on met your curation standards. Otherwise, this is indistinguishable from spam.

If a product is on Amazon and listed as keto, it would probably meet the curation standards I set. I look primarily at the macro-nutrients to decide whether to include it in my collection.
However, there are a great number of keto friendly products that aren't listed as such on Amazon. I'm pulling those into my feed and determining whether they meet qualifications as well (an obvious example would be beef jerky -- it's typically not marketed as keto friendly but much of it has the correct macronutrients).
I appreciate the feedback though! I certainly see your point of view regarding the appearance of spam. I'll put effort into making the experience better. And you're right -- I need to include products that might not be listed on Amazon.
Thanks!
