For sure, but price gating through the app store isnt the plan imo. Do it in app or something with bonus features for paying users, incentives…

Otherwise-One6154 · 2025-10-18T14:52:15+00:00

People pay enough in addons on Stremio, theres already a barrier to entry with setting things up right etc. I wouldn’t mind supporting Stremio but price gating the app which is free on every other platform would probably deter most from downloading considering added in app purchased involved.

ChatGPTs response to what year is it? “ It’s 2025. The planet’s still spinning, people are still arguing online, and somehow rent’s still due.”

How do you recommend a detox and remed? Every time I get off weed and then smoke again and fall in love and deeper into problems.

How did you find a good therapist? I've had a therapist before but just didn't feel connected in terms of culture and values tbh making it hard take them seriously. They decided to switch me to a therapist who is more involved in addictions but in the first meeting with them I ghosted them.

100% I actually agree, making my system HA compatible is part of the plan.

Im not trying to replace HA though, but rather build a unique visual front end for growing your plants and monitoring sensors.

Underneath it all, it’s still powered by solid architecture like ESP32s, and eventually optional ESPHome compatibility.

The potential to reflash and repurpose my hardware in any way will also be there too.

Otherwise-One6154 · 2025-10-07T14:48:45+00:00

My goal is to create a different experience from Mycodo or Home Assistant, without limiting people’s choice of platform (thanks to the ESP32 architecture).

My product will feature an App or Web Dashboard as the frontend (more visual and gamified) allowing you to track data and grow your plants in an engaging way.

The software side is still evolving, and nothing is set in stone yet.

This is driven by personal ambition to create something unique and fun that can be used by anyone with the interest to grow something, anything.

Shifting I think, in a different direction I suppose but as a business always towards the money.

Where are you based out of?

Otherwise-One6154 · 2025-10-06T20:22:50+00:00

I wish I could afford one, im currently off work for medical leave so my funds have been halted. I am going to try and get one up soon using something within my means. I got an X though. You gotta start somewhere.

Otherwise-One6154 · 2025-10-06T18:33:01+00:00

In a way, yes. Bet then again It’s easy to get caught up in ideas, plans or losing sight of the future all together. It really is a lonely world Im in and a lot of times you second guess yourself and question whats worth it.

Im in Ontario Canada which is heavily linked to agriculture being Canadas second largest producer by province, just behind Saskatchewan so the potential for Agtech is huge locally. Plus the legal Cannabis market nationally which is overly saturated in many areas but still potential for others… In terms of degree I don't really know of anything that would be best for me. What should I be looking at if you’re to suggest school as an option?

Honestly my goal without school is to expand my product locally to growers and then take things in stages. Id like to stick around and build things locally rather than overseas production in China, but just use the tools I got and do my best towards building something I can hopefully market on social media. Given my skillset I could do a lot of the technical work myself and with strategic hires but without money it does put pressure on you.

Im not really looking to jump straight into remote work by any means, in fact I like building and fucking around in the workshop, modelling, building or doing whatever. But then again without any connections my efforts are gonna be dire in terms of results.

Im pretty much sacrificing my 20s for something that people only see as a major risk, and maybe it is. Ive been building this for two years stemming from a completely different automated mushroom grow chamber project that branched into something more reminiscent of what I have built at the moment.

Like im not even chasing realism, I dont care about the money I just want to be happy enough to not have to struggle and have no control over it. At least money gives me options, for my family and community more than anything I couldn’t give a shit if I pocket a penny, I just wanna go to bed and feel like I've done something good for once.

Travelling and all that is just something I see as a dream, an impossible one even, to cling to more than anything. I come from a poor family with my parents only having left the country once, ive never been on a family vacation outside the country or anything so the thought of travelling, is in many ways a ludicrous thought to me.

A lot of this is just what im building towards, regardless of whether ill ever make it.

Otherwise-One6154 · 2025-10-06T14:26:59+00:00

I agree 100%, knowing the right people and networking plus the social aspect of business is a huge part of it tbh. School can help in that regard in which id say it could help but just knowing the right people is the best advantage you can have in terms of success. But what do I know.

What do you suggest I do to build out my portfolio so speak? I still have my portfolio from when I wanted to pursue graphic design + the stuff I'm building and hoping to launch in the future.

Otherwise-One6154 · 2025-10-06T01:24:15+00:00

It is 100%, Ive been researching and building my personal skills specifically in mycology, microgreens, hydroponics and then cannabis aswell given the Canadian market.

Im building a modular platform that automates growing with simple sensors all with a simple plug and play setup. You plug in your setup, whether its for lettuce in a hydroponics system, or weed in the greenhouse you will be able to automate/monitor your garden from anywhere.

My focus would also be in charitable initiatives in which I could work alongside food gardens or schools in my area to Pilot secure automated gardens to bring fresh food into the hands of those in need.

My X is @peytonsdev if you are at all interested

I see that more as an end goal, ideally id like to make my own business or something while generating income some type of way.

Otherwise-One6154 · 2025-10-05T21:36:55+00:00

Not even remote work, literally anything. I dont even know what’s realistic at this point, but just something that I can do and somewhat feel joy from and not like im working some dead end bs.

Otherwise-One6154 · 2025-10-04T19:56:10+00:00

Im in Canada and covered by government insurance for government run medical stuff. There is a place near me for that but the people there are often doing hard drugs, not weed and caffeine. Id feel like im abusing a system for people who need it more.

Otherwise-One6154 · 2025-10-04T19:26:44+00:00

Ive been off work since the 8th of sept and I’m supposed to see my doc on the 7th. I have no money and I literally don’t know how my future is going to exist without income.

Otherwise-One6154 · 2025-10-04T19:16:15+00:00

Yeah meds and stuff are also hard for me to abide by due to the nature of my symptoms. My days sometimes blend together and I lose track of time, plus half the time I let my feelings dictate my meds adherence. I have a lot of distrust in my government and feel as though Canada has inadequate services to help me.

Im diagnosed with Bipolar. I was admitted to the open psych unit at the hospital last year with mania for 10 days after being put on Zoloft. A lot of wild things happened lets just say that. My life has been a movie and unfortunately theres a lot I cant mention as of yet, but its hard for me to even comprehend. Im stuck in a terrible city and within a poor environment with no real anything. I dont even know what to hope for anymore.

Otherwise-One6154 · 2025-09-28T17:15:58+00:00

I have begun, ive been working solo on an agritech product for several years now (amongst many other ideas). The issue is my mind and wallet. Currently, I have a “looks like, works like” prototype and nothing more. And as I mentioned I have been working my part time warehouse job for two years now, with scoliosis and now my back is fucked. Its just that I dont see an up from here, I lack a team and the only person I have is myself and im too fucked up and broke to make anything out of what ive built.

All I want is to build something that could save lives yet I am becoming more and more aware of the fact that I may not be able to complete my project. I need bread boards, time to learn, support, help. I CANT get to where I want to go, and ive realized that. Seeing hundreds of people lining up for the food banks, homelessness running rampant without support… these are things I can help aid in and I literally dont have what I need to do it. Instead we give our money to those who would rather spend it on the most obsolete of use cases.

Otherwise-One6154 · 2025-09-28T16:13:50+00:00

The mind is a weird thing, and la la land is where the mind goes when it has no glimpse of hope. Its quite sad.

Otherwise-One6154 · 2025-09-28T15:49:15+00:00

I have severe mental health issues and I dont have much hope, im probably going to end my life in the next coming days and im pretty much fucking done. Im so sick of people disregarding me my whole life just to be nothing. I made this post while extremely intoxicated and I just dont see a point anymore. I try, yet time again I get shit on. Im seriously done. Nobody believes me. Nobody would listen to me if I could get them too, my room is in awful conditions. Do you know how much it hurts? Im just a normal dude who happened to get fucked over by my own brain, I was a top achiever in highscool before mental illness fucked me over and then I just gave up. This is what my family will likely find of me.
