Can you talk a little big about how you made the app? What was the source of data to convert the food to equivalent calories? What sort of technical and non-technical challenges did you run into during development?

Would love to try it - agree with the others, the visual interface is very very nicely done (I've been reading up on this subject recently...!) The video makes me want to try it out. If I dare offer one suggestion...the guitar music is a bi

As a specialist, I have to say: This makes me very glad I'm not a primary care provider. The doctors of the future will be evaluated on bedside manner and interpersonal skills - not on diagnostic ability or knowledge, because they'll all ha

I find it easy to navigate and it is useful in discovering new sites if you're a neophyte (like me!). I've already found 2 interesting new websites that I've never heard of before that I have bookmarked. OP: But how will you monetize this?

There are neurosurgeons and cardiac surgeons that train for 4 years after medical school, 5-7 years of residency, and possibly 1-2 years of post-doctoral research or 1-3 years of fellowship - who will never EVER see a million dollars in a

I love this advice. Bookmarked. There are competitors in the field. The problem that I'm trying to solve has been marginally solved (using sloppy shortcuts) but I want to solve it the real way. I think there's a market. It's a niche market,

This is a great attitude, I'm going to read your post a few times to let it sink it. It is worth building. I know I'd LOVE to have the product I'm thinking of. And I know it doesn't exist (yet). And yes, there is lots and lots of learning

haha, point taken. there have been at least 2 products released in the past 2 weeks that are similar to what i'm doing, hence my fear of someone beating me to the punch. hence, my hope that what i'm working on is going to succeed. on the ot

I wonder if this will be a repeat of the Sirtris story - big pharma buys magic pill company for 500 million dollars for a drug that doesn't do shit. Diet and exercise have been shown to improve CAD, HTN, Diabetes, even cancer risk. It doesn

Thank you all so very much for your comments! You're giving me a lot of insight into the process and the many positive/negative factors I should be thinking about - this is absolutely perfect!

Hi, thanks for your input. This is definitely one of my fears...there are a lot of very talented programmers who do this for a living, who're ahead of me in every respect. You're correct that I'm outside of my area of expertise - it's one o

Hi. Thanks for your input. I've heard great things about Ruby. It's next on my list, for sure. I'm working my way through SEIA right now and learning Perl (re-learning? It's so similar to C!) I'll look into Python as well. I've heard of mo

Hi. Thanks very much for your input. I have indeed fiddled with the idea of working with medical devices. The main problem with starting a medical device firm is the herculean regulations that you have to overcome. Unless you have someone w

I'm toying around with a few ideas, but you're intuition is mostly right. The problem is that I don't know which of them are realistic in terms of programmability (hence my desire to really learn web-dev languages). I've only discovered thi
