Hey PH! I'm Don, a solo maker building a streamlined AI calorie tracker (CoreFit AI)

Hey Product Hunt community! 👋

I'm Don, an independent developer, and I wanted to say hello and share a project I've been pouring my time into recently.

Like a lot of people tracking fitness or health goals, I got completely burnt out by bloated calorie apps. I hated having to type out exact weight measurements or click through five sub-menus just to log a basic breakfast. It felt like a second job.

So, I decided to build CoreFit AI to fix my own frustration. I wanted a clean, single-page dashboard where I could just type a meal exactly how I'd say it naturally (e.g., "corn on the cob with melted butter"), snap a package barcode with Gemini vision, or tap a quick shortcut for my morning coffee. I also ended up building in a smart water tracker, milestone badges to keep myself accountable, and a tool that gives you meal ideas based strictly on whatever macros you have left for the day.

Building this solo as a progressive web app and compiling it for mobile using Google's Bubblewrap CLI has been a massive learning experience (and identity verification loop!).

I’m getting close to officially launching it on the main Product Hunt page soon, but I really want to make sure it solves real problems for people first.

If you track your nutrition or macros, what is the biggest friction point that usually makes you quit using tracking apps? I’d love to hear your experiences, get some feedback, and connect with other makers here!

Cheers,
Don
