An app for my local bulk grocery shop to detect what is inside each glass jar to improve the checkout process.

There is no barcode as you bring your own glass jar and you fill it with pasta, rice, sugar ect.

The manager wastes too much time looking at what's inside and typing the code into his till

Did something similar based on Metabase for the UI. Transaction stored in a basic Postgres table and regex on my bank transaction export for categorisation.

In France, there is https://www.francevelotourisme.com/itineraire/gps

UI is not as good but, there is very useful tools like camping, train station, the ability to split your trip in steps ect.

On: The New Facebook Design Sucks

[grbi]

I don't know why but i'm still on the old interface.

Facebook almost always has a long-term holdout group in experiments like this to make sure that any gains from the design change aren't just short-lived blips from the novelty factor that ultimately result in long-term regressions.

I understand but, they announced that it would disappear in September. We are at the end of October. Considering the feedback, I'm quite happy to be still on the old version.

[ugjka → grbi]

They are probably rethinking now after seeing the feedback

[skinnymuch → ugjka]

Yeah. Like they re-thought the wall or feed or messenger as a separate app. All of which got negative feedback.
