Wow, I am surprised to see this on the front page of HN. I was one of the main maintainers of OpenFarm back when I was part of FarmBot. As some folks in the comments have already mentioned, the project is unfortunately not actively maintained.
Although it is not actively maintained I would not say that the project is dead since it is still used as part of FarmBot for crop information management.
The biggest thing the project needs right now is a dependency upgrade above all else. It is running an old version of Rails/Mongoid/Angular 1.x. Folks who are interested in reviving this project should absolutely reach out to the current maintainers (I am no longer involved).
- beanjuiceII 3y agoJust curious what ever happened
- openthc 3y agoI (we, my company) have offered to become maintainers. This is something we are passionate about.
- winrid 3y agoOooooh Angular 1! https://github.com/openfarmcc/OpenFarm/blob/mainline/app/assets/javascripts/angular-libs/gardens/angular.of.gardens.add-to-garden.directive.js#L13 https://github.com/openfarmcc/OpenFarm/blob/mainline/app/ass... $scope.$watch(). The nostalgia. :) Probably Vue would be a good option.
- tommica 3y agoIs there a chance of getting a copy of the crop/plant database? I am working on a little app for home use, but finding organized data or apis has been hard.
- pvaldes 3y agoDon't reinvent the wheel. Ask the friendly bookshop owner closer to you, adopt a book from the garden section and give it a home. It will serve you forever
