24 alternatives to a web app to track when your food will go bad

http://wasteless.io A web app to keep track of when your food expires. Grew out of a CLI program I made for myself. It was also an experiment with writing a webapp purely in Common Lisp. It comes with the full source code [0] as well as source code from some CL libraries that I spun off on the way. libs: cl-config: library for managing configuration settings loosely based on the BSD model. [1] cl-init: library for integrating your common lisp program into an OS's init system. Manages starting and stopping the services as well as setting up a swank/slime interface. [2]…
