[Feature]: Add weight first

[dobrowolski-lukasz]

What feature would you like to see?

Ability to put in amount before finding the ingredient I'm adding.

What problem does this feature solve?

When I add food that I'm about to eat I have to remember the amount while I'm searching for the product before imputing it.

Have you considered any alternatives?

Keep scratch paper and pen in the kitchen, write down the amounts on it and do the full accounting after the meal. It's a pita, through.

Additional context

Ability to add food amount first would make using the app a bit easier.

I think this is a part of a larger UX "problem"/imperfection.
Eg When I'm preparing sandwiches I want to weigh how much bread, cheese and ketchup I'm adding. It's too difficult to remember them until I end eating and I'd prefer to touch my phone as little as possible while I'm cooking and eating because of hygiene. I'd think I'd be happy to just input amounts, clean my hands once, eat the food and match the numbers to the ingredients in the app. I don't have a great idea how this could work.

Feel free to close this feature if You think it's not a good fit. I'm not sure there is a good way to solve the larger issue.
Maybe with IoT wireless barcode scanner and a IoT scales that would be lay in the kitchen and be witlessly connected to the app. xD

Well, this sounds like a very specific use case. I can't think of a good user flow for this. Perhaps we could use some kind of AI integration, where you simply tell your phone what to add, and it will do the work for you. However, this is still a very abstract feature for now, but I'm not closing it for now.

Adding food is single most important user flow of this app. It's an inherent pita unfortunately.
This is why I've decided to give feedback on this one even if I don't have a good idea on how to solve it.
I think that this is one area that would benefit from being polished as much as possible.

Using some kind of voice assistant to add ingredients could be a good option. It would solve the problem with hygiene as it can be hands free. Hopefully the implementation would not involve cloud and it's privacy implications.

Feel free to close this ticket. It's main purpose was signaling the "issue".
