Project to create a mobile version of the site.

Introduction

There is a mobile application for Open Food Facts that can scan a barcode to check the product information, and send photos and information about products. This application is available for both Android and iOS. This project is now trying to bring feature parity to the web, now that it's somewhat responsive.

Features desired

Scan barcodes

Ideally : scan barcode directly in the application (not sending image on the server) , continuous scan (no photo taking necessary), scan with continuous autofocus (can recognize more easily barcodes) .

Scan HTML5

Continuous Capture and analysis of images in javascript. First non-conclusive test (no autofocus) :
