I figured someone, somewhere, is trying to grow food that doesn’t murder the soil. Someone has terabytes of wildlife camera monitoring and drowning in footage. Someone has a brilliant idea and absolutely no software skills or budget.

Maybe we can help.

We’re just people who can code, but maybe “just people who can code” might be exactly what someone needs right now.

We’re already collaborating with some rewilding projects, and we’d like to do more of it and meet more people trying to do things that matter.

The few people we talked to, who are fighting the important fights, are using broken tools, or no tools at all.

Maybe we can be of use to people protecting and restoring ecosystems, innovating sustainable food systems, or those tracking what’s actually happening to the living world around us.

We don’t have all the answers. I don’t even have most of the questions most days, and I’m trying my best to learn. But we’re good at software, we can build things that work, and we’d rather build things that matter.

To end this thread, I’m casting a wide net but if you’re trying to save one specific part of the world and software is the thing standing between you and doing it better—please talk to us! We want to meet you.

Hello friends!

I am Eden, I am #NewHere, and I like making things grow.

My particular interests include #TreePruning (think: fruit orchards, but also espaliers and bonsai when I'm feeling particularly spicy), figuring out how to grow a #Garden on a plot that is almost 100 % sand and gets little to no rain in the summer months, #BuildingSoil, and collecting interesting vegetable varieties (bonus points if they are black/purple or variegated).

I am a mix of about 50 % idealism and 50 % cynicism. The world is going to shit, but… that doesn't mean we can't try to have nice things while we watch the world burn.

Follow and connect if you want to exchange ideas, passions, seeds or just talk about STUFF. I speak German and English well enough to hold a conversation, other languages might need some more time to decipher.
