v0.5.0: onboarding, data export, and tighter privacy

v0.5.0 has been the longest release to put together, and most of it is invisible work. Sometimes that is the right thing to ship.

New onboarding. Brand new accounts now get walked through a short setup before they land in the app. A few questions about your goals, your height and weight if you want to share them, what units you prefer. The app uses those to make the nutrition targets actually mean something for you, instead of defaulting to numbers I picked out of a hat. You can skip every step. You can also change everything later from your profile.

Data export and deletion. You can now download your entire food log as a CSV from the profile page. Every entry, every nutrition value, every timestamp. And if you ever want to delete your account, there is a real delete button. It deletes. No ten step process, no “are you sure” five times, no email back and forth. One click.

Cookie compliance. The site now has a cookie banner that does what it says, with separate consent for analytics. This was the boring legal one. It is done.

Dashboard polish. The home dashboard got a polish pass at the same time. Cleaner cards, better defaults, fewer empty states staring at you on day one.

If you are signing up new, you will see the new flow right away. If you are already in, the new exports and profile bits are waiting under your profile page.
