Protein Pricer

What it does

Stop doing mental math in grocery store. Scan any barcode, enter the price, and instantly see price per gram of protein, protein per dollar, and a clear value rating. No barcode? Pick from fresh proteins and enter the price per pound. A lot of stuff has "protein" slapped on the packaging but is terrible value per gram. This app shows you the real numbers. Community pricing database lets you see what others are paying at different stores. Currently free, no ads. iOS now, Android coming soon.

  A website for comparing protein powder prices2024 · nutritionprices.com · ▲122

  diskprices.com, but for Protein Powder! Buying protein powder is a mess, and comparing different products is frustrating, since all brands choose their own serving sizes. By collecting nutrition facts, and normalizing the serving to contain 25 grams of protein, we can properly compare price/nutrients per serving. Inspired by diskprices.com, the idea is to provide an equally functional interface to compare products. The prices are collected once a day, currently from iHerb US. Aiming to improve the coverage soon. Any tips / suggestions / other feedback more than welcome :)…

  Find the cheapest protein per gram across 3000 powdersSep 2025 · priceperprotein.com · ▲7

Technical: FastAPI + Celery backend, Next.js frontend with virtual scrolling to handle 3000+ products. Deployed on a VPS (migrated from GCP - much simpler). The AI handles everything from blurry nutrition labels to understanding…

  Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!
