How about a usable recipe-database, diet tracker, fitness tracker, ...

I am serious. I know that there are tons of those, but it always strikes me how even the most basic/obvious apps still suck usability and design-wise. I believe that somebody who's good at designing easy UIs could easily outinnovate these and take some pretty good markets. And one of these days, I will.

It's ok, but really not what you'd hope for. Searching is impossible and a good portion of the screen is taken up by "Missing image" images. Very hard to find new stuff (in my brief experience).
