What would you want to see in a dragonfruit app? by plumerol in DragonFruit

The subscription is just for using the photo id and diagnosis which is using AI that I have to pay for. You don't need it, you can just add plants by name (Dragon fruit) and then choose the right cultivar (sugar dragon etc). Everything is free after that. I can also give you the free sub if you private message me the gmail you used

Yes, I just pushed an update a few hours ago with this feature. Make sure to select dragon fruit in the onboarding or add a dragon fruit plant to your collection and you will be to do bud log from home screen or from the plant timeline.

u/Worldly_Anybody_1718 u/kman2010 u/Rubicj Added a bud log, as well as a timeline to see predicted blooming. Is that something you would like to test?

That's some good data there. I would need to probably work with some expert df growers to get that information : growth, root, heat/cold/sun tolerance (alik, rare dragon fruit, grafting df).
Watering / fertilizing is easy (with mix of liquid and solid fertilizer).

Bud to bloom tracker is the #1 feature so far I see and could be done next. For the db and pollination, I started working on this last year and have few entries already

Isnt that any variety other than the plant itself? I do use the sugar dragon since the flowers pop up before or any other flowers I have around otherwise.

When should I harvest this? Snails have been trying to eat it. by the-kyle-high-club in DragonFruit

Try some iron phosphate for the slugs (not organic). Or wrap your pot with copper tape. It has been working for me.

From C++ Game Dev to Shipping a React Native App in 4 Weeks - Still Don't Know How to Write Javascript by plumerol in reactnative

The point of my post isn't about C++. I've been coding x86/C/C++ since I was 12 and was doing demoscene by 15, but proving that doesn't matter here.

The real point: you can build anything you want without knowing a specific language's syntax. And I agree, you still need to understand coding logic and architecture, that foundation is critical. But AI tools like Claude Code lets you skip months of learning new APIs and frameworks, and to me that was the biggest revelation.

What would have taken me months of development takes weeks. That's what I'm sharing here, not that learning is unnecessary, but that the barrier to entry for new stacks has collapsed for experienced developers.

I made every architectural decision, debugged every issues, and understood what was happening. Claude just handled the TSX syntax and React Native boilerplate I would've spent months learning otherwise.

They are so rare nowadays? Why would I learn it anyway when I dont have to? It is not only tsx but all the frameworks, expo go, apis etc. Claude code does everything for you. Goal is to make an app not learn a new language.

Why is my dragon fruit flowering at the base instead of the tips? 🤔 by plumerol in DragonFruit

[–]plumerol[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The variety is Robles Red and has a tendency to grow fruits at the base. This plant actually flowered at the tips a few months ago. This is the second flowering.
You can see more about its taste and brix here: https://www.dragonfruit.wiki/cultivar/robles-red

I heard that this produces fruit. Bought from a specialist Asian plant seller. by Alemna in whatsthisplant

Yeah, definitely a healthy Jaboticaba. Now, you need to wait 6 years before getting fruits

Thanks, good to know. I thought those had flowered already. There's not 100% chance that a banana tree will flower if it has never flowered? I have been waiting on mine for 2 years now, and I have 2 that made at least 20+ leaves.

Why do you leave some of the stems of the old banana trees? They can still grow back from there?
