Show HN: Find the cheapest protein per gram across 3000 powders

I tracked protein powder prices in a spreadsheet for years and found that identical protein content can have wild price differences.

I built PricePerProtein to automate it. It pulls real-time Amazon data (Keepa API) and uses Gemini 2.5 Flash to extract nutrition facts from product images/descriptions. Calculates actual protein per dollar, not just package price.

Technical: FastAPI + Celery backend, Next.js frontend with virtual scrolling to handle 3000+ products. Deployed on a VPS (migrated from GCP - much simpler). The AI handles everything from blurry nutrition labels to understanding flavor categories.
