When I read the Show HN title, I figured this would would scatter seeds on a virtual map and when you run it "waters them" so you can see a garden on a map similar to Strava.
- kawsper 1y agoMe too! Combining something like CityStrides with a virtual garden would be a great idea!
- freetonik 1y agoExactly my thoughts as well :) I was hoping the app would allow me to transform the bare map into a garden.
- Utkarshn101 1y agoI can actually add this in future updates. Where you run and the path will be shown having flowers and grass and it will look like each step you took planted something and then you can share it. I am currently working on the share run feature. The idea of the garden is also the same where you run to unlock a plant and tree for your garden.
- aa-jv 1y agoThe folks at artificial museum [1] would probably provide a good model for how to do this - I could imagine running around in their dataspace, planting seeds which grow over time. [1] https://artificialmuseum.com/ https://artificialmuseum.com/
- dopidopHN 1y agoI do that in real life. Currently with luffa seeds. Much more fun than any app could be. I don’t water them regularly but I run with twines and a bottle of fertilizer.
- sumo89 1y agoI was thinking something like those idle phone games with a virtual garden that gets more plants the more time you've logged.
