Short video about the update

 

Hey Growers,

We’ve been listening closely to your feedback and requests, and we’re extremely excited to roll out some much-needed updates and bug fixes to make GrowDiaries smoother, faster, and more user-friendly. Let’s break down what’s new.

Smarter Login Fixes

No more mysterious “something went wrong” messages when logging in or signing up. Now, if your username or password isn’t quite right, the platform will let you know exactly what’s up – making it easier to get into your account or join the community.

Goodbye, Old Layout!

The old diary creation layout was text-heavy, a bit cluttered, and could be confusing to navigate. On top of that, it didn’t have an auto-save feature, so if you changed tabs or reloaded the page, all your progress was lost. But not anymore! We've improved the experience to make it cleaner and more reliable.

New Layout and Auto-Save (Finally!)

As mentioned, we've redesigned the diary creation layout for a smoother, more visual experience. Replacing bulky text with clear, high-quality images that make diary creation simple and intuitive. Plus, we've moved the glitchy top progress bar to the bottom for a cleaner interface. Creating a more user-friendly way to document your grow. We also heard your frustration loud and clear: losing all your progress when switching tabs or reloading the page was the worst. That’s now a thing of the past. With our new auto-save feature, you can start a diary and come back to it whenever you want—no need to retype everything.

Nutrient Logging Made Easy

Another popular request: nutrients from the previous week now carry over to the next automatically. Now you can just tweak the amounts, if needed, and you’re good to go. Less typing, more growing.

Better Weekly Navigation

Finding specific weeks in diaries used to be confusing and time-consuming, but not anymore. With our latest update, the most recent week now appears front and center when you open a diary. No more endless scrolling, just quick, easy access to the latest updates from you or your favorite growers.

Deleting Diaries Works Better

The "delete diary" button works like it should. No more weird glitches or frustration when trying to remove a diary you no longer need.

We’re always improving, and it’s all thanks to you. Keep the feedback coming – together, we’re making Grow Diaries the ultimate space for growers around the globe. Big thanks to everyone who’s shared their thoughts, you're helping shape the best grower platform out there!

Please, let us know in the comments what else needs to be improved!

@DuschkabinenGrow, are you using the old version of the platform? In case yes - the bug was already fixed! What is it that keeps you on the old version of the platform? Thanks in advance!

If you have a lot of pictures in one week you cannot select last images because they don't fit on screen, scrolling is not possible.

@Appoldro420, thanks for the info! Could you tell us what exactly is happening? Looks like you are using the new interface in which case you need to click on one of the photos the photo will open in new window where you can scroll up or down. In case you have another issue - please let us know! Thanks in advance and have a great day!

Talk about version 2.1 and stopping the old view. We need version 1.0 for all; where simpilty brings joy. 2.1 is all over the place. Can't wait to see what version 2.2 brings? We might as well just jump straight to 3.0; bring "OpenAi" into the equation for site management/polling designs/surverys for updates/upgrades to 'Content Creator Assistance' and 'plant diagnostics' for beginners plus all.

Could you introduce something like the attached picture of a breeders page to growers profiles so it's easier to see what has been grown by them and the results.

@Hashy, good idea! We will put it on the list. Thanks a lot!

@GrowDiaries, on a side note I still have a bug on mobile. In new diary view I still can't click on the pictures to open them up to view them properly, the picture/video thumbnails seem very out of proportion to my screen. So viewing pictures properly is impossible which spoils the new layout.

i can only upload 25 pictures on the harvest week AND now all pictures are in low quality, i double checked on other growers (the best photographers IMO) and all pictures are now in low quality

don't use AI, I don't need more tech companies stealing my data. Apps have run perfectly fine before AI mobsters got involved, you just need competent people creating your app.
