Since our struggles (starting in 2016) for this ; feature sets on mobile browsers have improved -- and we've learned more too -- we've mostly dropped "App" type support and have it 99% Bowser based. The only thing we&#x

I don't think you get it; I'll try again. - Our app was for business regulatory compliance obligation. - Our clients asked for us to get into the App store (customers love that shit for some reason) - The process sucked fo

Nothing requires us to publish an app -- but when you make LOB software, the user-base is like "where's the App?" -- so you build one. It's not a strict, absolute requirement -- it's a de-facto requirement (like pa

Hmm, ages ago we added a cannabis related app on Apple/iOS -- and there were loads of other (small-ish) already on there -- to help grow, or find (to buy) or to review cannabis products. Ours was for regualtory compliance -- a legal ob

Exactly my point above -- oh, to fix this client issue I need a relaible system (Debian) -- but I can't run on their own hardware cause they like Windows (and turn machines off) -- so just spend $50-USD for the Pi, Power, SD and softwa

This is a fun trick. We use the PI as print-server for our POS -- cause it can also handle all kinds of crazy receipt printers -- for example, have to complile the filters and stuff for the Star TSC-100 series (and sometimes for Dymo, or o

It's like having the phone numbers of different BBS to dial into back in the day. Except, the internet was always connected - which totally blew my mind!

Seeds are cheap (~$10 USD/ea), whole ready to harvest plants are not (and hard-ish to estimate). If you grow inside the expensive part is the electricity. Indoor and outdoor both spend lots on labour for harvest/cure/trim p

Yea, they hit us too (ages ago). How much effort do you want to spend? It took weeks to get contact, had a sit-down with their legal council on the line, re-did some underwriting process and -- were then told again "No". My advi

a) the independent org might take a longer time than we have; in Washington we need the answer by 31-Dec-2021. b) the largest cat in the game is Dutchie which just acquired GreenBits and LeafLogix -- and now they have three APIs to manage.

Right, and we all still need to agreed to the model of the data to put on said chain (this is the step we're on). Also, blockchain has the all-or-nothing requirement; our model does not.

Any ideas how to make it more clear that our desire is to have them participate in the specifications? Also, wouldn't the switching thing work both ways (or even in a mesh pattern, assuming multiple adoption?) (I think that's obv

Data from Washington State: https://data.openthc.org/ (a small side project) It's mostly supply side (B2B) deals, the data about crop and harvest they provide is worthless. I could add in all the retail transactions (

Super excited to see more Pi powered growing. IME It works great for medium scale operations. One of my next objectives is a community sized greenhouse for veg, and a bunch of Pi automation.

Really fantastic news; their previous rules were allowing only local, concentrate/edibles. There was loads of excess flower biomass. Colombia (Ecuador, Peru) have been more open to regulated cannabis. It's pretty exciting to wat
