Where do you source your barcodes from? The reason I am asking is that I would like to give Grocy/Barcode Buddy a better barcode pool to draw from. As it is now, it's kind of hit and miss. Most brand names are fine, but off brands or store brands are kind of iffy.
Open Food Facts (OFF) for barcodes. Free, open license, community-edited. Their API: https://world.openfoodfacts.org/api/v2/product/.json
Thanks man! Nice looking project BTW
