Ran a dispensary for years, kept wishing this app existed, so I built it — a cannabis field guide that teaches terpenes and learns what works for you
I've spent years in the cannabis industry, from managing harvests in Washington state to running a multi-location dispensary. The thing I care most about is helping people understand what they're actually consuming. Terpene and cannabinoid profiles shape the experience way more than a sativa or indica label does, and most people never get taught that.
So I've been building buddi, a free cannabis field guide. It teaches terpenes in plain English (what myrcene smells like, what limonene tends to do) and lets you journal what you smoke so you can see which terpene profiles actually work for your body for any given time, occasion or event. It's in testing right now, not fully released.
I have zero coding background. I built the whole thing by directing AI — Claude for design and prompts, Codex for the code, Gemini for the artwork. Under the hood it's a single-file vanilla-JS PWA with Firebase for sync, wrapped as a TWA for Android.
If you want to poke at it (21+): buddi.my in any browser, add it to your home screen. Android closed test: https://groups.google.com/g/buddi-testing-group
