I use Cronometer (https://cronometer.com/ ). It's simple and excellent.
Thanks! I'm the founder, & long time HN lurker. We've bootstrapped over 11 years and still fully founder owned.

I tried to use chronometer but they wouldn’t allow me to sign up with an email address of chronometer@prepend.com. They would accept it but never send the validation email. It was annoying so I used a few other apps.
I ended up just using a spreadsheet as all these apps seem oddly expensive for a food log.
Founder of cronometer here. Sounds like a email delivery issue — I assume you already checked for it accidentally going to junk filter, etc. if you email our support@cronometer.com they can get you going.
Cronometer | Revelstoke BC, Canada | Multiple Roles | Full Time
Cronometer is a leading nutrition tracking platform headquartered in a mountain-sports paradise. Bootstrapped over 10 years, now 35 people strong and growing. We are looking to add senior engineering talent to help grow and manage the team (i.e. senior roles in managing both the people side and the technical side). Our ideal team member also wants to come skiing, mountain biking, touring, climbing, hiking, mountaineering, kayaking, etc... with us!
Shape Up: mentioned for a few venture-funded companies.
Has anyone here some experience with Shape Up? Love to hear your thoughts. I just read about it so far and would love to hear some real-life stories.
We adopted it a year ago and the team still quite likes it. Reduced day to day stress and distractions and a good structure and shared vocabulary. Wouldn’t say it’s perfect but much nicer than the sprint treadmill.

This article is very USA centric — it centers around it being banned for lift in the states — but that wouldn’t stop just about everywhere else on the planet from building hydrogen air ships, if they are viable.

Is it possible to bootstrap a consumer startup in the same way as a B2B SaaS? Seems a lot harder, given that revenue from day one is not easy.
Yes -- we've been bootstrapping our diet tracker cronometer for the last 10 years. It's a much slower pace, but nice growing & operating on own terms. It took the first five years before I could quit my regular job -- but now hitting $3M ARR. Designed an awesome workplace in a ski town and have been slowly recruiting other ski-bum / devs to our way of life.

Definitely seeing this happen in my small remote ski town (Revelstoke BC). The demand for housing has sky rocketed for this winter as so many people want to work remote from here and enjoy the skiing. Local blue collar workers hate the skiiers because they are getting priced out of everything and their cost of living & property taxes keep going up.
I have a small (~25ish person) software company based here and it's going to be a challenge to recruit this winter (we're hiring for senior devs) simply because it will be impossible for anyone to find housing here until the end of the ski season!
The fact that you lurk HN is also awesome. Cheers
