(6/6)It is not done enough to share but often when I keep projects I am working on hidden, my motivation to finish can fizzle out. If just one person sees the potential, that is enough for me to feel like I am creating something meaningful.
Soon I’ll make it usable!

(5/6) So with the foundation I had built, I turned into a companion app. I wrote product requirements, organized the digital design system, defined, refined, tested, and here I am now, with a limited-function app which you are welcome to check out.

(4/6) …culinary uses (to inform harvest), and botanical families (to identify fairly accurately companions and combatants), and a clearer understanding of what an app needs (and why all the other garden apps are not enough and too much).

(3/6) And now I had a useful design system, and a pile of SVGs and spreadsheets of companion/combatant matrices, planting/starting dates I translated to weeks relative to frost dates (to apply to any growing zone), and a growing database of plants I had categorized into…

(2/6) I learned so much about 3D modeling and product design, creating pieces that would snap together, slide, or lock into place, something adaptable, scalable, modular.

(4/5) I also need to carve out Lake Ontario. Did you know it’s *very* deep? Scoured by glaciers the last ice age, but didn’t have the same effect on Erie bc the glaciers got smaller as they advanced south, & Ontarios bedrock is softer, older rock. 🤘

(3/5) Second print is the bathymetric base to the topographic top, I need to slice the coastal islands from the raft (a printed “bleed” that keeps the print in place on the bed) and glue them on the surface of the water (which will be a thin sheet of clear plexiglass) with the land…

(2/5) but it made the supports grow into the windows like vines. Learning process. Had I printed an historic cathedral, I’d have known better bc the flying buttresses are supportive enough…

History shows that rejecting diversity and certainly inclusion, is part of fascist regimes.
