The Growstuff Project

Originally published at Growstuff Blog. You can comment here or there.

Today we updated the Growstuff website and have a bunch of great new features, including:

• A crop “suggest” widget, instead of an unwieldy dropdown, when you are planting, harvesting, or saving seeds
• We now show the most popular crops on the crop browse page, by default, rather than showing them in alphabetical order.
• For those of you not on the metric system, you can now record your harvests in ounces
• A couple of features for the benefit of our volunteer crop wranglers: we’ve made it easier to add scientific names to crops, and provided a list of other crop wranglers on the crop wrangler homepage.

Showing some of our most frequently planted crops on the first page of crop results.

We also have a couple of bugfixes:

• Fixed a bug with harvests where “pints” were being recorded as “pings”
• Fixed a broken link on the contact page

And under the hood, our developers have improved our code by:

• Upgrading to Bootstrap 3.2 (this is our front end CSS library, that makes the site look and feel the way it does)
• Improved our test coverage by about 6%

Lots of good stuff here! Huge thanks to the many developers, testers, and other contributors who helped out with this release. You can see it all live on the Growstuff website.
