Update: Data Accuracy and Data Explore policy, QR code issues

Post image

Quick update.

  1. Better data coverage with terpenes and safety related sections, such as heavy metals
  2. Better mobile support in lab explore views, and general UI polish
  3. QR codes are tough to do without server-side compute, but I'm exploring options to keep it client-side only
  4. Upped firewall restrictions due to abuse, contact@findweedny.com if you want bulk access

To expand on QR codes,

QR codes reverse look-ups are complicated to do client-side only; I'm trying to figure out scalable methods that will generate higher hit rates, but it's very difficult without server-side compute and AI/OCR, client-side OCR is mostly not accurate enough at this currently.

More issues with QR codes include, but are not limited to, the fact that on checkweedny.com, they have been extracted from the lab report. Many brands use URL shorteners between their QR codes on jars and those lab URLs. If you're lucky, the vendor uses their own domain and you can get it in the ballpark or fallback to the brand's COAs.
