Presentation
- This new mobile application aims to showcase Open Food Facts's power to a broad range of users through a smooth user experience and sleek user interface. It is a Flutter application by Open Food Facts.
- We pioneered the collaborative scanning app in 2012. With this experimental app, we’re reinventing it from the ground up.
- Install it on Android (Google Play, F-Droid or Amazon App Store) or iPhone/iPad. Note that a internal development build (Android or iPhone/iPad (App Store) if you'd like to use the results of your PRs quicker.
- Smooth-app is developed in parallel to the openfoodfacts-dart plugin, which provides a high level interface with the Open Food Facts API and openfoodfacts_flutter_lints which provides specific linting
- Every new interaction with the API should be implemented in the plugin in order to provide these new features to other developers.
- We support desktop platforms (Linux, macOS and Windows), but only for development
