about microgreens

microgreens is an app ive been working on since... gosh i think spring of 2024. ive always kinda been a grassrootsy person. microgreens was born out of half my own boredom, and half as a way to disconnect from bigger social media platforms and reconnect with people that are actually close to you. This is kind of an embarrasing catalyst for such a big project, but the real spark for this idea was the night that a guy near me messaged me on grindr to ask for me to sell him some PEP after his boyfriend cheated on him. I didn't charge him for it and I felt really strange waiting to do what was basically a drug deal in the park behind my house... but it kinda struck me that it was really strange that such a small but urgent ask needed to go through a dating (hookup) app. So, this is microgreens. It's grassroots craigslist with functionality for profiles. meet your neighbors, help them, and maybe that lady down the street will let you meet her pet pig and give you some lemons from her tree too.

its not functional yet. its almost in alpha. we're getting there.
