He's 13 years old. He wanted to track his own ant colonies — growth, feeding, humidity, and other metrics. He built the whole app himself with some help from AI tools; I just helped him deploy it to a server. Would love to hear your feedback!

Not closely related to the app itself, but how does the worker count graph work? Do you count them visually and put in the data? Or how do you know how many ants you have?

from the screenshots it looks like manual data entry

But do people really count 2400 ants manually?

See also: formic acid, so named because it occurs in ants.

Any web devs that could me this style of UI?

Claude Code or other AI agents produce that by default, usually also this hue of orange.
I'll just ignore the em dash in the post description. Also, why does "Especies" on top right (next to sign in) appear in the English version as well. Adding onto that point, the translation doesn't work well. Just fix up the "Multilingual" feature and it should be pretty good.

As a 40 year old who has had colonies since he's your kiddo's age, please thank him for me! I've created an account :).

Seems like something you could do in a spreadsheet with less time.
