Allow the user to find alternatives products on a scan even if (s)he has scanned only 1 product
@teolemon For the record there's a singular they, an alternative to (s)he.
@teolemon Beyond the UX/UI aspects, is there already an API for that?
No peculiar API. I was thinking of using the "most significant low level" category of the product, and doing a category sort (similar to what is done on the home screen).
But we don't have any server side API to find the "most significant low level" category. So I was thinking about a dropdown letting the user decide (do they want a better Cocoa and Hazelnut spread, do they want a better Sugary spread, do they want a better Plant based spread)
@stephanegigandet thoughts on this
@teolemon I agree, you cannot know for sure what the end-user is looking for:
- we could put a button on the product page ("find alternative products")
- then ask them which of the product's "categories" match their interest
- run a dedicated API (list of products that belong to that "category")
- create and display the corresponding product list, where they can rank the products
As far as I've understood the issue, fixed by #183.
