#6 Improvement on food database
Making food database as a stand alone file so different countries that have different types of food can have their own database in their own language.
Filling the database with all types of food from all over the world would take too much time and space i guess.
So maybe have it as a standalone .xml file or something that normal people easier could edit.
Instead of write a long list of custom foods that can't be put in folders.
This would also make the program more attractive in more countries i guess.
Hi Sjano,
In fact we have the food database as a separate file. We have a separate project in our code repository that we use to create the serialized food.db file. Since the program was designed around the USDA database, we use their database structure (it really is an SQL database with a few major tables). So if a similar database is available for other countries, feel free to point it to us and we will create another .db file.
Best,
Georgi T.
