The idea for Ember came from a simple problem: I never remember to take a photo of what I eat. I always tell myself, “I’ll do it later”… and of course, I only think about it hours afterward, when it’s too late to scan anything.
I wanted a way to log my meals without needing to remember at the exact moment I’m eating. That’s when I imagined a tracker that could analyze a meal from a simple description, even if I log it at the end of the day.
“A chicken sandwich, a coffee, and a chocolate yogurt” → instant calories and macros.
At first, I only wanted to simplify food tracking. But as I built Ember, I realized that understanding your nutrition goes hand-in-hand with your other habits: hydration, steps, fasting… That’s how Ember became a more complete health-tracking tool

Who hunted Ember?
Ember was hunted by Mus. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
