Show HN: HortusFox – FOSS system for houseplants with enterprise-scale features

https://github.com/danielbrendel/hortusfox-web
2•foxiel•2h ago
HortusFox is a free and open-source management, tracking and journaling system for indoor and outdoor plants. It's 100% FOSS software under the MIT license, but still has grown to a scale that can be considered enterprise-scale.

That was possible because of the great community that evolved around this leafy project, that kept me motivated as well as supported me in a very kind and lovely way.

After a few months of no new version release, a few days ago I've published v5.3 of HortusFox, which provides some cool changes to help empower your plant parenting. You can see a very detailed changelog in the 5.3 release page on GitHub. Overall 25 issues have been resolved, where some of them were actually quite big.

If you're new to HortusFox: the system offers you a large number of features to support your plant parenting (or gardening) journey with plant details, locations, photos, default and custom plant attributes, inventory system, tasks system, calendar, history (to keep a memory of your leafy friends), collaborative group chat and a few opt-in features such as weather forecast or plant identification (via photo). It also offers an extensive REST API, backup feature and themes (if you want your workspace a little more personal).

I have to say, for me it's the perfect blend of two things: The passion for software development as well as the fondness for nature. I'm really grateful for that.

Thanks for reading and have a wonderful and leafy day.
