#TechTeamTuesday 7/19
π Good Afternoon #GregGang!

ππ» Next, check out the suggestions and like your favorites.
π Some Posts that caught our eye this week:
π¦ @PlantyPlanter had the whole community quacking about ducks! https://greg.app/question/3GZU7K/ducks-questioning-quack-im-considering
π° @Kscape came up with the thriving new #PlantingOnABudget community! https://greg.app/post/1SSYCS/came-up-with-a-great-idea-for-this
π @BigFloppa showed off her awesome free new albo monstera! https://greg.app/post/3X7Y81/there-is-one-happy-owner-of-variegated

@jcPlantProper girl you shipped out #PlantProperThursday mail yesterday π
Oh oh!! My suggestion is to bring back the rating. π I'm looking forward to a graveyard/given-away plants, too.
I just removed nine plants. I texted @Boymom-plantmom and told her I'd drop them off. π€£
I need some more space and @AwesomePlants posted on #plantjokes about rearranging furniture and I'm ready for more room!

@lindseymae a search feature is definitely on our list for community improvements!
@RJG sweet! Keep up the great work! π€π€
Loveee little Greg sunbathing π₯Ήπ₯Ή thank u for the shoutout @RJG π
Seeing followers on othersβ oasis, being able to βorganizeβ or view oasis by date added, alphabet name and/or userβs choice?

@lindseymae thanks so much we will!
@PlantyPlanter that could be cool!
@discreetwildyam oooo and groups! I water all my outdoor plants at the same time. Filtering by indoor/outdoor would be cool
@RJG not oasis related but pls comment threads π
Ooo wait what about organization when it comes to the bio section of your oasis. For example, when viewing my oasis, I can edit my bio and type it out however I want and itβll look the way I typed it, spaces, layout and all!
But when viewing my oasis when clicked through a comment, my bio lay out looks different. Any fixes or changes to this? @RJG basically the format lmao

@kscape yah that would change. if you notice when you load someone oasis it's actually opening our browser and you're viewing it as a webpage. That's why you can zoom on them. When we upgrade oasis they'll load natively like it does when you go to your oasis tab.
@TJphilobsessed so it functions like your own oasis?
@RJG yes!! Exactly.Because I like to see the type of plant and the name. Every time I go back after viewing a single plant it reverts back up to the top of the oasis and thatβs tedious if someone has a lot of plants.
@TJphilobsessed YES PLEASE LIKE THIS!! It would make viewing other oasis less tedious and maybe like a react (like in stories) or comments on their plant card?
@TJphilobsessed Thatβs a good one!!! Iβve always thought about that too honestly
Iβd like to have the option to choose a landing page when I launch the app. Personally, Iβd prefer to open up directly to my Oasis as my homepage; then I can navigate to the community feed or the care cards afterwards. Others may want to see the feed first thing or their watering/fertilising list first thing, etc.
@RJG Yep! Noticed the first time I used Greg π€π€ yall loaded through webpage but thatβs smart !!
Okay @RJG Iβm gonna go through everyoneβs ideas and also add mine in one big list so that you have it. I love all of these so far!!
-reviews
-graveyard/past plants
-search bar
-oasis filter
-PLUSHIES
-comment threads
-plant boards (in oasis)
-commenting and easy access to othersβ oasis
-easier replies
-commenting on stories
-uniform bio format
-swipe feature for othersβ oasis
-personalized landing page
More:
-captioning & more personalization for stories
-homepage sorted into the different discussions (or hashtags) in a drop down or easy navigation bar
-reactions to posts and comments (more than thumbs up or down)
-organization of questions into categorizes and separation from main posts (i.e. identity the plant in question, then notify people who own that plant for help. or identify the issue, alerting people who have had those same issues). you could also archive these questions when answered so that only unanswered questions are addressed
-the ability to repost someone elseβs post either for reference or comments
Iβll add more when they come to my mind!

@RJG ha-ha! We donβt want much do we?!πππ
@TJphilobsessed And you know what? I shouldnβt say this but I would actually buy it too. Greg should create their own merch with plushies, shirts, hats, mugs, etc. They would make a LOT of money π€π€
@fabiana agreed!
@graceolivialee yep! If you go to the timeline at the bottom of the plant card of the plant you accidentally watered (or snoozed if that ever happens) and there should be a ... next to the most recent water/snooze. If you click that you should have the option to undo a watering.
@RJG Thank you!!!
@graceolivialee happy to help!
@topher.thomas good idea Christopher!
@Jilliebeanstalk omg Jillian you won't believe me but it was the next post I would have included π«£
But didnβt @RJG π₯Ίπ₯Ίπ₯Ί Iβm sad, now I must go buy another plant.
@RJG idk if itβs been mentioned already (but I swear I read every comment π), but Iβd actually really like it if we had the option to display our plants names and/or scientific name on the little profile photo in our oasis. Sometimes I feel like my plants are all running together visually π
@Jilliebeanstalk thisnis the way!
@Planthoader how are you thinking they would be distinguished?
@KJsPlantBabes I love both of these ideas. If nothing else we should be able to detect when a photo was taken vs when it was uploaded. Let us noodle on that π€π€
@AlliesTerrarium are you android or Apple?
@RJG apple
@AlliesTerrarium you can kinda see progress pictures now at the top of the community feed. I'm sure you've noticed!
I agree it's be cool to be able to see a bunch from the same plant in a row.

@RJG yes, sorry That didnβt seem like a very specific comment from me. But I meant when you look at other peoples oasis, and click on the plant, to be able to see their progress pictures. Maybe Iβm using the word progress wrong. Tracking?
@AlliesTerrarium I know what you mean and I agree!
Iβve deleted/killed several plants recently and it would be so nice to have them archived somewhere so I can remember what not to buy. π¬
Also very much want to sort by room so Iβm not running back and forth across the house when Iβm watering.
Andβ¦ plant sitter mode. Or something like it. I want all my watering thatβs due on a calendar (major bonus for sorted by room) that I could print off and leave with someone caring for them.
Would also love it if I could tell Greg Iβm going on vacay for a week and he could tell me which plants to water before I left and who can wait, or consolidate some for the sitter.
Last maybe I just canβt figure this out, but I want to be able to pick the βcover photoβ for each plant. Sometimes I snap a bad one just to log it and want to replace it with a good one. But then still want to keep tabs on growth without replacing the main pic.

@Mrsjenger I literally love all of your suggestions! ππΌππΌ
#GregFeedback Hey I was wondering if this issue was already brought upβ¦. I am sure many of us would like to have quick acces to comments/answers when we are tagged. For example, when i comment on someoneβs post or question and they write me back, I have to find (scroll down) to find the response! Idk if this makes any sense but a quick βlinkβ to our tagged comment would be nice π
@Mrsjenger the cover photo can be done now!! If you go into your gallery and pick the photo you want, then select the ... in the top corner, then select make cover photo!
Vacation mode is something I have wanted for the entire time I've been on Greg! Great idea!
A Graveyard is coming for the plants you've deleted from your oasis. So you'll be able to see what you've had before! We have all that info archived! Don't worry.
@Jilliebeanstalk we're still working on this but all deleted plants will automatically populate in your graveyard once it launches. Feel free to delete your plants that have passed already, you will be reunited in the future!

@Planthoader ah yes! We need to make input more intuitive. That's on our list I promise. Another example would be why do we need all the window information for outside plants. (We're working on it!)
@ameliedam yep we have big plans for the community tab too! Threading comments, search, and going to the comment when clicking on the notification. Any other ideas for your Oasis? We're gonna do a call for community features next week!
@jcPlantProper I thought it was Thursday!
@lindseymae people use hash tags but Iβm not too familiar with them. Like #begonia ?
@RJG whatttttttt thatβs amazing. Itβll be like a resurrection πͺ¦ π»
@RJG @evergreen_pulip has some great suggestions! Sometimes I quick add a plant and when Iβm bored go in and add/edit details and the app will mark it as repotted when it really wasnβt. Also the editing the date for when it was watered would be great! I sometimes forget and remember days after Iβve watered a plant. A sorting by room such as @Mrsjenger suggested would be great also! Although I prob need the workout lol me
@rjg - maybe thereβs a way to do this already, but I agree with adding the option for βpropsβ and also I would like a βgrow lightβ option instead of window!
@hurricanem we do have the option in the plant details to say your plant is near a growlight.
@RJG thanks for the response! Still getting the hang of my new bestie, Greg!!! ππ±πΏ
@hurricanem did you find it?
@RJG yes!!!! Just updated my details! Thanks again!!
@hurricanem excellent! Hit me up whenever if you have a question at #GregFeedback
@Kwanna yes! But the hashtags arenβt used as much, and they seem to be more like communities than references if that makes sense
@RJG omgπ€¦I never even noticed!!
@Marthamaywho92 happy to help!
