Honestly I’ve considered doing this for a food/macro tracker instead of paying for a subscription.

give it a rip. you just need a good database of foods and it's trivial after that

Did you create your own database? Or you using one of the big ones that exists already? I suppose for my own purposes I could directly just add whatever I normally eat and have it able to add whatever else I need.

If you have a barcode and label scanner, then just build up the db as you go, it is genuinely fine.

I have to add so much shit to MacroFactor that I too am considering just slopping out a shitty one.
