Honest take: would a “digital tongue” in a nutrition app be useful? I will not promote

I will not promote

I’m playing with an idea for a nutrition app and the main feature is something I’m calling a digital tongue.

Basically it lets you record the taste of the foods you eat (sweet, salty, spicy, rich, bland, etc.) and then visualizes your taste profile over time. The idea is that the app learns your cravings and preferences, not just your calories.

Later on, it would use that data to give you food recommendations based on what you actually like eating instead of generic healthy meal plans.

I’m trying to figure out if this is something people would actually find helpful or if it sounds unnecessary. Would you use a feature like this?
