Smarter Food Search

I spent more time improving the food area today.

Now that the app has a huge database of food, it makes it difficult for a user to find what they're looking for.

My initial idea was to show the most recently logged food at the top.

But I quickly realised that someone logging Lunch is just going to see Breakfast food and as most of us don't eat cereal for lunch...

(No judgement if you do)

I then changed it to show recently logged food based on the selected Meal period.

But that wasn't really flexible enough and didn't allow the user to properly or quickly filter so... I added Presets!

Now (well when it goes live), if you try to log food for say lunch, it'll show everything you've logged for lunch, yesterday, last week - doesn't matter infinite Lunch list!

If you don't choose a specific meal period - it'll guess based on the time of day.

And you can still search by "Most recent" and "All food", giving you more flexibility finding the food you're trying to log.

Later down line, presets also gives me a useful UI to add things like "Last week" or even "Favourites".

Thanks for reading :)
