Description
Free product encyclopedia indexed by barcode. Type one in and you get the ingredients, plus who owns the brand and who actually makes it, which often aren't the same company. Every fact links to its source. AI agents add new products every day, mostly food and drink so far, and the goal is anything with a barcode. No ads, no sign-up to read.

Could you build this?
Partial A barcode lookup UI is simple, but building and maintaining a reliable, verified corporate ownership knowledge graph mapped to global UPC/EAN barcodes requires significant data extraction and scraping infrastructure.
What it would actually take: Requires automated web scrapers and crawlers targeting regulatory filings, packaging registries (GS1, Open Food Facts), and company ownership databases, backed by entity resolution algorithms and verification pipelines to keep millions of barcode-to-parent-company mappings accurate.
