Food and drink barcodes have names now too

Scanning a carton off a kitchen shelf used to draw a blank more often than not: the open dataset behind the name suggestion is a general shop catalogue, and it is thin on groceries. A second one has been added that is nothing but food and drink.

Open a line to read the whole story behind it.

  • New Scan a food or drink barcode and the name field can fill itself in from a second open dataset.

    Scan a food or drink barcode and the name field can fill itself in, from a second open dataset covering groceries. It is asked first, because a name written by somebody who actually bought the carton beats a shop listing — and cartons the first dataset had never heard of now have an answer. Everything else is unchanged: the name is a starting point in an ordinary editable field, and what you type is what is kept.

  • Improved A suggested name now says which of the two datasets it came from.

    The line under a suggested name says which of the two datasets it came from, so you can tell at a glance whose description you are reading. On "What is this?", where both datasets know a barcode and describe it differently, you now see both answers instead of one.

  • Improved The credits page names both datasets, who publishes each of them and the licence they share.

Dates, not deadlines

Each date is the day that work landed, and nothing more. It is not a support window, not a promise that a version stays available, and not a schedule for the next one.
