Stop guessing how much sugar is hiding in your snacks

What it does

SweetTruth scans the barcode on any packaged food and instantly shows you how much sugar it contains — converted into teaspoons, with a simple low/medium/high rating, so you can decide if it's worth it before you buy. It flags hidden sugar in the ingredient list too (dextrose, maltodextrin, and other names sugar hides behind), and if there's no barcode, you can snap a photo of the ingredients label and AI reads it for you. Built this solo as my first project — would love your feedback!

SweetTruth scans packaged food barcodes and instantly tells you how much sugar is inside — converted into teaspoons so it actually means something.

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
