Our app simplifies the process of scanning barcodes and searching for products that is listed for the boycott movement.
Looking at the list of brands it is not realistic to entirely avoid them. What I wouldn’t mind is almost a traffic light system where I could avoid companies with ties to Israeli defence sector, illegal settlements etc as well as products manufactured in Israel.
What I do is have a ChatGPT conversation that I prompted so that when I tell it a brand name, it will answer with <Owning company> - <County of the company>
No need for more complications.

Nothing worthwhile ever happens after chatgpt is invoked. Why even mention it, as if for some reason you aren’t ashamed to admit to using it?
ben and jerrys, original owners tried to fight UNILEVER on thier ice cream being sold in israel? unilever ovverulled them.
After Unilever apparently guaranteed not to interfere in their political activism when buying the brand. I believe they’re currently in court about it
And both men are Jewish men who are supporters of Palestine.
Jewish antisemites I imagine they are being called by some of the baddies
The company I work for uses tons of tools from a company by the name “ISCAR” which I recently learned means “Israelian carbide”
This is useful information. Thank you.
I know waze is but I’m keeping it
Waze was sold to Google though.
I think the devs that built it still manage it and are Israeli. Google just owns the company. I haven’t really looked it up much since I read the news of the sale years ago but that’s how it was then. No matter I’m keeping it.
For my Canadian peeps, use Buy Beaver to boycott Israel AND US products.
Or whatever other shit-ass country you dont want to support.
I’d buy beaver
I’ve bought beaver.
Fuck Israel, genocidal scum!
Stop right there, genocidal scum!
You’ve violated international law! Subject yourself to the ICC and pay your fine!

Could it not just be a website? Trying to minimize the number of apps on my phone.
Right? Why does everything need to be a goddamn app
iirc you just have to memorize a few numbers at the start of the barcode
https://boycott-israel.org/ looks to have a search option, otherwise there is the BDS website https://bdsmovement.net/Act-Now-Against-These-Companies-Profiting-From-Genocide
Sorry NGnius already posted this but interested if you folks like exodus. Its pretty sweet.
I’m new to this but my app store uses exodus to rate privacy of apps. It rates this app at 6/10. You all trust or use exodus? Wouldnt use this app anyway as I agree it should be open sourced. Especially using camera to scan items.
Your emails and download details have now been passed to the IDF.
Make sure you don’t have this app installed if passing through US Immigration.
Just turn your phone off ffs. And use a strong passphrase.
If they ask, just say no. Encryption works.
That’s how you get turned away at the border. Happened already.
Its highly unlikely, but worth the small risk. If they turn me away, that’s on them.
I wish there was an alternative for soda stream compatible gas tanks around me.
You could potentially save yourself some money and get yourself a food grade CO2 tank and refill the cartridges at home.
That seems like a bit too much for my personal use…
Honestly, it’s super easy and saves you a ton of money
Alright then. I’ll look into it. Thanks 😬
Have you looked into DrinkMate?
Ah so cool, but is there an open source alternative?
