Ah man, am I too late?

I had an idea to create a website that shows you how much sugar is in a product. I was too excited and bought the domain name:

https://sugarglot.com

The domain name stayed dormant for 6 months, until the quarantine. I created a minimal working product with no design but it works.

This product already exists in the market. But all apps fail at nailing two main problems.

1 - Seamless fast search.

2 - Graphically conveying the sugar measure.

The first one is what I really worked on, to make it fast and intuitive. Still needs improvements. The second one is still a work in progress since I am no designer.




It is a good initiative but I am not convinced. This already exists so the need is not pressing. How did you think of monetizing?


No monetizing scheme so far. I think even if it ends up as a public service, it will be good enough.

I still don't know how to visually convey sugar. In a matter that is more dramatic. Working on some animations for now.
