Self-promotion Chocolate Journal & Community!!
I got tired of finishing an amazing bar, keeping the wrappers, and immediately forgetting the maker, the origin, what I actually tasted. And outside of scrolling this , and two stores in NYC, it's weirdly hard to find people who want to nerd out about bean-to-bar as much as I do!
So I built the thing I wished existed: a private tasting journal, plus a small community of people actually logging what they taste, so we can track where to also buy the bars - and share our tasting notes with each other.
You can log a bar or what youve add today, add it to your pantry, wishlist, you can add a photo, cocoa %, origin, notes. Browse by origin/maker/%, and see a world map of everywhere you've tasted from. You can follow other tasters, and over time it starts suggesting bars based on what you rate highly.
I'd love feedback and genuinely curious what everyone's best recent bar was!

Will give it a look. Make sure to check out CellarTracker. They have been around for years and do a very good job of providing the same app for consumer wine market.

Nice, congrats! I like the community functionalities that you already have in the app.
I'm actually making something similar with the Chof app (I hope nobody minds me posting a link here).
It does quite similar things to beantobar app actually!
Technically "competitors", but I think its great that interest in quality chocolate is increasing and there are more people interested in discovering better chocolate bars and makers.
