Rationale

This project was built to explore how product transparency tools can help consumers make informed choices without overwhelming them. The scanner draws on open datasets and a Yuka-style experience: quick scans, clear scores, and concise explanations. The goal was to demonstrate a clean, accessible flow from barcode input to actionable insight, with room to extend into sustainability and nutrition breakdowns. It serves as a portfolio piece that shows both front-end polish and sensible API integration.
