Open Food Facts Explorer

Open Food Facts Explorer is a new, modern frontend for the Open Food Facts database (8M monthly visitors) and its sister databases. Originally a side project to test the speed of SvelteKit, it has evolved into an official project. The goal is to create a feature-complete, user-friendly replacement to the classic website that separates the view layer from data management, finally offering us: increased user happiness and attract more users with a better value proposition, increased contributions (decoupling frontend and our Perl backend) by decreasing the barrier of entry for web devs thus opening it to a broader community, making the effort more sustainable and distributed while increasing software quality and velocity along the way, dogfood our own API as we did for mobile which benefits the whole ecosystem and finally reduce technical debt and avoid the need to code in Perl for any frontend development.
