Garden Manager is a vegetable-garden planner for the phone. You lay the garden out in zones, record what is in each of them, and keep track of what happens. The app is on Google Play and the App Store; the leaflets by the exit point at both.
Offline first
The garden lives on the device itself, in IndexedDB, and the app works with no connection at all. That is not a bonus feature. A vegetable garden is outdoors, and outdoors is exactly where a phone has no signal — at the far end of the plot, with soil on your hands, is the moment you want to look up what was in that bed.
What it is made of
A web application, wrapped with Capacitor into an app for the stores, so the phone build and the web build are the same code. What belongs on the device stays on the device; a separate, self-hosted API — Elysia on Bun, with Drizzle — keeps whatever has to travel between devices, behind an Authentik login. Dutch and English, like this museum.
What is not hanging in this room
No screenshots and no demo. They are not in this repository, and a room full of empty mounts is worse than a room without them. What the room is instead is the garden the app is about: beds under glass, pots on the potting bench, and the label beside them carrying the rest.
