The Dev.to post shows hobbyists are increasingly building personal quantification systems for taste; existing apps (Vivino, Untappd) lock you into one beverage category and one rating model.
The cited Dev.to post could not be found and reportedly had 0 reactions, providing no real validation; however, multiple multi-category tasting journal apps exist (Drinkist, Drinklytics, Curiary), indicating some niche demand.Drinklytics, your simple tasting notes app. Log every sip, beer, wine... ↗Drinkist — Drink Tracker & Taste Journal App ↗
Market is far more crowded than the idea suggests: Drinkist, Drinklytics (with custom templates for any beverage), Curiary, Stillory, and Tasted all offer multi-category tasting journals with custom attribute logging.Drinklytics (Wine Tasting) Features, Benefits, Alternatives, Review... ↗Curiary - Track Your Tasting Journey ↗
Direct competitors like Drinkist and Drinklytics are free or freemium with no clear paid plans surfaced; beverage journal apps are notoriously difficult to monetize, and hobbyists show low willingness to pay for personal logging tools.Drinkist: Drink Tracker - Apps on Google Play ↗
Personal taste journaling has staying power for hobbyists, but the broader market is trending toward AI-powered discovery and label scanning rather than structured self-quantification, suggesting the 'weight your own attributes' angle may fade.
Technically straightforward to build as a mobile/web app with forms, weighting controls, and trend visualizations; the weighted-attribute model and taste-evolution charts add meaningful but manageable complexity.
