It's a shame this doesn't go further and make the knowledge open source.

If the hosts for this project ever stop then all the info contribution goes to waste :/

I know it would be impractical but i would like to see something like this powered by an open repo where for example all the guides and plant info was stored in a format like markdown docs.

Could use something simple like Docusaurus to power the front end and then have contributors use some sort of front end that wraps that git pull part so non coders could still add to it.

The beautiful thing is that plant data can be accessed without any compute.

Love it! Are there any plans to differentiate between climate zones? That’s the reason I still rely a lot on “local gardening tips” and It would be awesome to change that finally.

I dont' know doesn't look like it. But sounds like a good idea, i'm sure you could send a request to the devs.

I can see hosting regional versions of the project as a good way to handle this.

After all it is open source nothing stopping someone hosting a .eu or .co.za version :?

Just need to think through a solution to handle duplicating region agnostic information.

Sadly, it is not actively maintained right now.

The code? Damn. Such a good idea.

Yes, i think they're in need of motivated devs go bring the code up to date and advance it even further. Edit: Typo
