Show HN: Project to Sort/Filter Protein Bars (probarsearch.com)

3 points by casta ↗ HN
After showing my sideproject https://ff.bitlet.org/ (NYC restaurant menu search) to a friend, we decided to narrow down the scope and build something similar for protein bars that can be monetized with affiliate links.

We always found ourselves looking at macros when buying protein bars, and that was not easy to sort/filter on online shipping website.

Looking for feedback, thank you!

Taste is not listed. I tried eating them for a week while on a hiking trip, and can't stand a bunch to this day. Some of them really do feel like eating chocolate flavored chalk.

Ahah, I agree, most of them do not taste good. I guess the point is to get a reasonable amount of protein in a few bites and not necessarily to eat something tasty.

When you say the taste is not listed, do you mean the "flavor", that is usually some chemical additive, or do you mean a subjective rating of how they taste?

Don't you have to disclose affiliate links?

This is the first time we use amazon affiliate links. I didn't know we had to disclose it. Reading the Amazon Associate Appropriate Conduct it seems you're right and we definitely have to. I'm going to add it as soon as I touch the html again. Thank you!
