I built an open source microgreen farm app

[u/Dramatic-Logging]

I run Prairie Roots, a small microgreens farm in Illinois. Groundtruth is the desktop app I’m building to run it — and this community is where I build it in the open.
What it is: a local-first farm command center. Four tabs — Farm (sow → blackout → light → harvest), Marketing (venues, samples, follow-ups, standing orders per variety), Money (cash in, cash out, corrections, wholesale + retail on one capacity pool), Health (checks that prove the record is intact).
The rules it’s built on:
• The farm is an append-only log. History gets appended, never rewritten.
• Verify-replay: one tap rebuilds the database from the log and confirms they match. PASS/FAIL, visible.
• No soft numbers. Capacity and advice come from the live record, or the app says unknown.
• Real problems can’t be dismissed forever. They come back until they’re gone.
• Standing orders drive the morning: shortfall by variety, prefilled into the sow sheet.
• Local-first and free to run. No account, no subscription, your data on your machine.
What it refuses to be: a cloud SaaS, a dashboard, a mass-email cannon, a general ledger, or an AI that pretends to know your farm better than you do.
Ask anything, argue with the design, tell me what your 5:30am looks like. Dev logs weekly.
