From late-night debugging to 100+ users: The story behind IngreLens (Launching Aug 29!)

Hey everyone! 👋

Ever stood in a grocery or skincare aisle, squinting at a tiny ingredient list full of unpronounceable chemical names, wondering what you're actually putting into or onto your body? That exact frustration is what led us to build IngreLens.

IngreLens is an AI-powered app that lets you snap a photo of any product's ingredient label and instantly decodes it into clear, easy-to-understand insights.

How it started vs. where we are: What began as a hackathon project (shoutout to the amazing DoraHacks 2.0 mentorship sessions that helped us sharpen our execution!) has officially turned into something real. We just crossed our first major milestone of 100+ users, and the feedback so far has been incredible.

Next stop: We're taking things to the next level—IngreLens is officially launching on Product Hunt this August 29th! 🌟

I’d love to connect with fellow makers, hear your thoughts on building in the health/utility space, and get your early feedback.

If you're curious about what goes into decoding labels or want to support indie builders, keep an eye out for our launch page in two days! Drop your thoughts or questions below—I'm hanging out in the comments all day. 👇✨
