Roadmap

• 
  Fatty-acid database Structure, names, chemistry, IDs, isomers and top dietary sources for every entry.

  • Add additional fatty acids.
• 
  Interactive 2D & 3D models Shape the fatty acid molecule, step through the different bond types, create your own phospholipid, and explore lipid membrane dynamics.

  • Improve the physics
  • Make it open source
• 
  Cross-referenced IDs One click to PubChem, LIPID MAPS, ChEBI, HMDB, KEGG and more.

  • Keep adding IDs.
• 
  Interactive biosynthesis pathways An interactive canvas showing where a fatty acid is made, and from what.

  • Keep improving the pathways and explenations.
• 
  Metabolites Follow fatty acids downstream into aldehydes and other peroxidation products

  • Create interactive pathways.

Coming next

• Topics Plain-language explainers that connect the data to the nutrition science, cross-linked to every fatty acid.
• Health Associations Health effects organised by body system, each with its mechanism and the supporting literature — null results included.
• Food Profiles Line foods up side by side and compare their saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated split.
• Roles & Metabolism What a fatty acid actually does: energy, membranes, signalling and the rest of the metabolic spine.
• Baby Formula Profiles The full fatty-acid breakdown of stage-1 infant formulas — LA, ALA, DHA and the omega-6:3 ratio — side by side.
• Proteins Explorer The enzymes and carriers behind fatty-acid metabolism — FASN, the desaturases, thioesterases — and what they act on.
• Open data & API Grow the download into a documented, versioned open dataset with a lightweight API.
• Videos & Social Media Create and spread videos to improve the educational value.
