How to handle products available in only some countries, and products available in multiple languages? (question)
2 related questions from Javichu:
- Products that are not available in all countries where a specific language is spoken.
Do you think that make sense have not only different versions for languages but also for countries?. There are 20+ countries that speak spanish. And every one have its own and different products. We rarely see in Spain products from Mexico, Argentina or elsewhere. Indeed, we see quite a lot more products from the European Union than from other spanish speaking countries. So, it doesn't make sense that a search returns you products that never ever you are going to see…

http://truthstreammedia.com/rockefell...
Analysis of "Transhumanism: A Grimoire of Alchemical Agendas" by authors Dr. Joseph P. Farrell and Dr. Scott D. de Hart chapter outlining the nexus between the Rockefeller dynasty's quest for Eugenics and their attempt to control the food supply. The Population Council, founded by John D. Rockefeller III, was a powerful vehicle to bring family planning -- population control using "wanted children" as a banner for eugenics -- to the developing world in the post-War era while Nelson Rockefeller would play a significant role in consolidating agriculture and increasing the world food supply. John D. Rockefeller III's Agricultural…1 vote -

Better barcode scanner.
It is not very powerful at this moment. Compare for instance with the QR Barcode Scanner from Geeks.Lab.2015 (at least on my HTC One M8 ....)

Understandability
Add a little GIF or VINE to illustrate the steps needed to crop and use an image for the different sections (like ingedients)
A picture is worth a thousand words ;)
Additional idea:
When cropping images it'd be cool to place the four corner points individual to enable perspective correction. Maybe OCR would work even better.1 vote -
Queremos una bebida de soja ecologica (y SÓLO soja) sin agregados,
Es ridículo que una empresa que se dedica a la producción de productos ecológicos agregue químicos cómo las vitaminas o espesantes y no entienda que los naturistas consumimos bebidas de soja y sólo de soja y para hacerlo tengamos que comprar en otros comercios.

keep data up-to-date
Hello,
Do you have any procedure for verifying and updating the database?
Imagine I want to use - and above all rely on - your data because I am highly allergic to egg (actually my son is :)). So far, I just can't fully trust the information provided, because the ingredients might evolve and I wouldn't be aware of it. So I still have to read the tiniest ingredients lists on the packagings. Ingredients sometimes even differ for some products, depending on the batch number ! This is quite frustrating...
We could imagine some kinds of warning systems in case…1 voteHello Julien,
This is a tough problem that we are trying to address, but we haven’t found a very good way to make sure the data is up to date. In fact as you say, at a given time, there maybe multiple co-existing versions of a product. So I’m afraid that you will always have to double check the label.
That being said, we can try to be better by asking users to update new photos when we notice that the ones we have are old (e.g. one year).
We are also trying to track the evolution of products over time:

If you want to discuss this further, please join us on Slack. I’ll send you an invite.
Thanks,

Compress the CSV
When downloading the data export the CSV file is currently about 155mb. The download can be very slow at times. Save the time and bandwidth by compressing the file into a zip file. Using basic zip compression the file becomes about 22mb, that is about an 85% savings.
