The code is on <a href="https://github.com/jombooth/mealshark">GitHub</a>.</p> <h2 id="why-i-built-it" class="heading"> Why I built it <a class="heading-anchor" href="#why-i-built-it" aria-label="Copy link to Why I built it"> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" width="0.75em" height="0.75em" aria-hidden="true"><path d="M10 13a5 5 0 0 0 7.54.54l3-3a5 5 0 0 0-7.07-7.07l-1.72 1.71"/><path d="M14 11a5 5 0 0 0-7.54-.54l-3 3a5 5 0 0 0 7.07 7.07l1.71-1.71"/></svg> </a> </h2> <p>I’ve used Mealpal on and off since 2018. I love the platform, and I’ve spent far too many hours of my life clicking tiny pins on the mobile app’s map looking for new meals, and the credit system makes it hard to understand how much I’m really paying for a meal - and therefore I’m doing arithmetic to figure out whether it’s a good deal. I decided I’d build a Chrome extension to stop wasting my time these ways, and Mealshark was born.</p>
