Food Photos in the Log View

3rd Aug, 2026

Final touches to the Food UI today

Now that we have all those lovely pictures, I wanted to show them in the log view and make it feel a bit more alive.

So today to the log view i've

  • Added the food images
  • Added an info button that shows information about the food
  • Reduced the size of the food rows slightly

The Bearly Fit log view with food images alongside each entry, an expanded Monster row showing macros, and the barcode scan result screen displaying nutritional values, source, Nova Group and Nutriscore grade

I also spent some time improving the barcode scanning screens so when you scan your favourite food it now shows

  • Basic nutritional values per 100g
  • Source
  • Nova Group
  • Nutriscore Grade
  • Ecoscore Grade

and when you last logged it.

I think I'm happy with everything now and it's ready to test through on different devices and then release.

I'm excited for the rebuild to Expo to be finished. Not only will it modernise all of the code to React 19 but also take away a lot of complexity and need for manual work when releasing. It's already at over 1000 tests vs 400~ in the original code base.
