Custom Local Barcode Directory
We know that if i scan a barcode and if it isnt in cronometer's database, it asks us to create a new custom food.
and then if it gets added to their system, we might get notified.
But for example I live in europe. and many food are not in their database. and also most of the food never i scan doesnt go to the database. But either ways, if i have to eat the same food again (sometimes after a gap of many days). I have to either create a new custom food, or go back and search the food that i created 2-3 days ago, which is a huge hassle.
From the user's perspective, I think we can add a button which i can check. Called "include in your local directory" or something. Which would mean that in my mobile phone's storage, and in my account, this barcode shall be stored for the custom food that i make. So that next time when i'm having the same food and i barcode scan it, I can just use the custom food i created last time, rather than manually scrolling and scanning through the custom food's list to choose it from.
from the developer's pov, this wont take cloud storage. even if you intend to make it sync to an account, it would just be a bunch of string of numbers for each account. Which can be extremely small in size.
