# Fast Calorie
|
|
> Single-Page Progressive Web App
|
|
|
|
There are lots of calorie counting apps out there, and a lot of good ideas, however I thought I could build an app to make entering your calories *even* FASTER.
|
|
|
|
In most apps, your search for food or drinks by name, or you *try* to scan the barcode, but your often left without finding the exact item you wanted or *none at all*. **That sucks!** In **Fast Calorie** searching is based on the calorie count -- AND not just "A" calorie count but calories for the food and drinks you consume -- not 80% of the things you would never touch!
|
|
|
|
This is YOUR app, your CALORIES, and your DATA!
|
|
|
|
## Development
|
|
|
|
Beyond the usefulness of the app, every creation is a chance to explore new technologies, and boldly go where you otherwise fear to tread, because... you know... you would have to support it if it didnt scale!
|
|
|
|
Building small things with tiny libraries is my joy, and this app is no different. The corner stone of this development built around [Litedom](https://litedom.js.org/), a very small view library
|
|
|
|
### Stack
|
|
|
|
- [Litedom JS](https://litedom.js.org/) - A Tiny View Library
|
|
- [Matrialize CSS](https://materializecss.com/) - A Not so Tiny CSS Framework
|
|
- [DexieDB] - A Robust IndexedDB Wrapper
|
|
- [Snowpack] - Fontend Build Tool, barily utilized
|
|
|
|
### Features

`npm start` Runs the app in the development mode. By default you can open at http://localhost:8080 in your browser to view.

Your page will reload if you make edits. You will also see any lint errors in the console.
