Hi HN,

I built a mobile app that helps people track their grocery expenses by simply taking a photo of their receipt. It extracts the products and prices, categorizes them, stores the data, and provides graphs to analyze spending over time. Also you can create future shopping lists with the already purchased produtcs or new ones, to know approximately the cost of it.

You can also get suggestions for healthier and more economical alternatives based on your habits.

The idea came from me, leaving nearby a grocery shop, when i was visiting very often, without reason, spending too much money to unnecessary products.

Would love your feedback! I'm especially interested in how useful this would be to different types of users (students, families, etc.), and any ideas on features that would make it more powerful.

Thanks!
