⚠️ currently SeedsIO is down due to a global issue with Cloudflare. This is affecting my other sites as well (https://ChilliChump.com and https://chillichumpseeds.com), and MANY other websites out there. I am sure it will be resolved shortly. Rest assured there are no issue on the website itself, the backend is perfectly fine and safe.

This also affects https://spicyiot.com for those of you that are currently doing BETA testing. The API end points are still functioning just fine so your sensors are still getting data through without issue.

Looking for the best hot sauce and spicy recipes?

Hey everyone! Today I released some changes into production for SeedsIO!
-- The long awaited and often requested: Custom plant attributes!
You can now set different attributes for each genus - so your tomatoes might have fields for "type" (determinate/indeterminate) and "sweetness", while your chillies get "heat level" and "colour". Makes tracking your varieties much more useful. Attributes can be text, number, select (dropdown), and Yes/No

-- Garden Shed got some love - reworked the interface to make it less of a faff to navigate. Should feel much smoother now.

-- Performance tweaks - general optimisations under the hood, things should run a bit snappier.

Many more changes, additions, optimisations in the pipeline!

Let me know if you spot any issues or have thoughts on the new feature

Made a few changes today. Primarily, I implemented some more security around the user authentication pages (I was getting ridiculous amount of spam accounts, DDOS attempts etc.).

From a visual perspective, you should notice the menu has had a few changes. There are some more visual and UX changes coming over the next couple of months
