Rex.Fit - Get the DROP

Get the DROP now

Our summer interns had their first sale today. After 8 months! In Australia!

Now I have to deliver fresh groceries to Australia 😅

They built our free mealplans, with everything from the backend to the frontend to the optimization algorithm (fits your diet, calorie/macro limits, localized to your region...).

Throughout their 2 months of internship, they also tried to monetize what they built. Adding paywalls for monthly meal plans, sign-ins, ... tried a few distribution channels, but then they added grocery delivery. So the flow becomes as follows:

generate meal plan for XX days -> get grocery list -> pay -> we order ingredients and deliver to your doorstep (ofc at this scale this is manual)

Anyway, I'm on Amazon fresh right now trying to get groceries (might automate this with browser use or so , inspired by Nikos Kaliorakis)

Congrats @tzvetan_Ck and Dimitar Yordanov!

Anyway follow @tzvetan_Ck on his journey building his own startup, he's automating podcast creation!

"Ok, so you're making people wear a camera around their neck, what about privacy?"

This is how we make sure that any recorded images or videos maintain privacy with regards to personally identifiable data👇

We just use a ghibli style filter and do the processing on the ghibli images.

Solved.

Next question 😂

In all seriousness, I'm going to write about how we do it in my next post!! One cannot but wonder though if it would be possible to do reverse-ghibli in the near future 🫨 who is working on this?

The Drop is our answer to automated nutrition tracking. Why not use Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses instead?

The battery lasts 4 hours, but only around 20ish minutes when streaming.

We need something that would last the whole day!

Their API is locked—hacking it means livestreaming on instagram to get around this.

There is no possibility to do AI processing on the glasses -crucial for privacy- and all processing happens in the cloud (that's when you say 'hey meta').

Building our own hardware gives us full control over each and every detail of the product. It's a new product, a new experience. More control over sensors, communication between our device and the app, and full control over the design.

Down the line, we see ourselves deploying our nutrition tracking software on other platforms, but for now, Zuck has to get the DROP! Besides he looks cooler with the chain...

P.S: I own a pair of meta raybans and theyre cool

Super excited to share that the DROP 💧 by https://t.co/iLd0BUskVg has reached a 1000% of its funding goal!!

We are on a mission to automate nutrition tracking for everyone. We're opening up our internal beta testing program soon. Priority will be given to the following in no particular order:

- people who have pre-ordered the DROP on kickstarter
- people who want to use the DROP for health reasons (diabetic, cancer,...)
- people who are fitness and health enthusiasts (athletes, average insta fitfluencer...)
- organizations/research labs who want to conduct health/nutrition studies using the DROP and want to batch order

If you know any of the above, please tell them to dm me!

Hey mom, I‘m on Fox News

[Ahmad Roumieh @ahmad_roumieh]

Doing something bold means you will occasionally get haters that want to pick on you. See example facebook screenshot for reference - the person in question compared the Drop to the @Humane pin, said it would bomb exactly like the Humane pin did and that he would bet on the Drop not being funded even if odds of betting were +10,000 not on his side.

On the bright side, I'm happy to reveal that we have reached 381% of our initial funding goal for the DROP 💧 on Kickstarter. As our kickstarter campaign goes on, I'm more enthusiastic than ever to see the reactions from people excited about this (and who have already ordered their DROP(s)), from fitness geeks and early adopters to diabetic and cancer patients. Every DROP purchase means we can ship this faster and build an even better product, it means a lot, thank you!!

For those of you who are new here, the DROP 💧 is the first nutrition tracking wearable. The Drop uses computer vision and AI to know when you're eating food and starts recording your meals. By fully automating meal tracking we want to enable everyone to learn what and how much they eat, understand their eating habits and transform their diet to optimize for health and longevity.

#AI experts create nutrition tracker which automatically analyses food the user consumes and gives feedback @rexfit–app ~ https://t.co/9TD3V1iqfQ via @fittechglobal

[Ahmad Roumieh @ahmad_roumieh]

@elonmusk the long term solution lies in eating better and healthier, eating whole foods and consuming little sugar and processed foods. With the amount of noise in American food, even those who brand themselves as the healthiest cannot be trusted. The Drop 👇🏻 eliminates this guessing game to track what you eat and how much you eat.

🚀 We're extremely excited to be launching the Drop: the first fully automated nutrition tracker! 💧 (kickstarter link in comments)

With Rex, we made calorie tracking as simple as sending a photo or a text to a friend. More than 20,000 users later, we learned that nutrition tracking was still not a solved problem. Every solution on the market requires too much input from the user, and most don't manage to create the habit to track what they eat.

Then it hit us: some users expressed that even the act of taking out their phone from their pocket to snap a photo was an extra step. A real solution needs to be as user-friendly and intuitive as fitness tracking is. It needs to be a wearable that you can just put on in the morning and forget about. For that reason we developed The Drop: the first fully automated nutrition tracker.

By fully automating meal tracking we want to enable everyone to learn what and how much they eat, understand their eating habits and transform their diet to optimize for health and longevity.

Something is dropping 💧

Big launch tomorrow!

[Riku Sayuj @rikusayuj]

It has also proven capable of tracking a wide variety of foods from just a pic: Indian food including curries, masala dosas, shakes, salads, pizzas or just drop a pic of a nutrition label with a note on how many grams you ate of it.

I was surprised at how good it was.
