Absolute shame.

The repo: https://github.com/openfarmcc/OpenFarm seems like it has all the info, and honestly, this doesn't need to be a bloody website, a bunch of MD files with links between each other and hosted on GitHub would be far easier to maintain and extend. If you want to get posh, have it use Jekyll.

Neat weekend hackathon for a group of students or similar, mind you.

I think I get what you're saying but I have some difficulty moving past the fact that you're claiming it doesn't need to be a website because it would be sufficient if it was a bunch of hosted markup documents that link to each other.

We really f'ed up the web didn't we?

The irony is too fine to get lost here, even though explaining it is a mood killer.

Its funny I also missed it on first reading, which tells me have far this has gone.

The web, internet, www, etc literally was a bunch of markup documents linking to each other. That is what a website was. Its even in the name of its language: Hyper Text Markup Language.

Wouldn't it be funny if browsers started rendering markdown and we got to re-create the original simplicity (and ambiguity) of the web this way.

We can start with browser plugins for rendering markdown.

Analyzing a laugh is like dissecting something in biology - it is dead before you start, and not many people want to do it. But yeah, I've bookmarked https://wiby.me/surprise recently, and it has been a good time-waster.

It looks like the original goal was a bunch of dynamic stuff (member related content).

But then only technical people could contribute information. The website may be trying to make it so all gardeners can contribute.

Which folder contains the .MD files?

I was digging through the code but didn't see where the actual content was, did you?

It’s in the database. The project stores everything as MongoDB documents. The API is accessible via CORS.
