What happened this week in the Aphylia team?
First we are working on a small surprise for next month… It is taking a lot of our time but we can’t yet reveal what it is ! But we hope you will like it, just be patient !
Encyclopedia / Plant Info
This week continued structuring and enriching the encyclopedia. Hopefully we will soon reach a perfect state for our encyclopedia.
First, we have decided to focus our categories in six main ones :
Of course, if you are looking for something more precise, you still have the possibility by selecting advanced.
We have also added a category vegetables.
When it comes to information on the plant information pages, you can now find rhizomes as one of the plant parts.
Also, we are aware that some plant pages can miss some pictures, that’s why we have added a tag on our plant report channel on discord named “missing picture”. Create a post, name the plant and add this tag, and we will be working on correcting that as soon as possible.
Discovery
For weeks we have debated how to code the discovery algorythm so the plants that are shown to you are pertinent but also new. We have eventually decided to base our algorythm on a point system. Points are given or removed depending of your preferences.
To have a more detailed explanation, you can watch the video FIVE posted on his channel, the link is just here :
Beginner Garden
Another project we have been working on is a “beginner garden”. A type of garden where the user would be guided through every steps of creating its garden. To prepare this new feature, we have added a “to do” section on the website. Stay tune to learn more about this upcoming idea!
