Transcript

I made an app that lets you plant your friends as flowers. Just like flowers, friendships require consistent care to keep them alive. But when life gets busy, it can be hard keeping up with your friends. That's what inspired me to make Buds, a simple friendship health tracker where you see all your friends as flowers in a garden. You can set how often you want to see a friend, and in order to water or fertilize their flower, you have to text them or actually make plans to see them in person. If you start neglecting the friendship, there will be signs. All the flowers are hand-drawn by me, and all the data is stored locally in your browser, but you can edit or export it as you wish. Let me know if there are any flowers or features you want to see and give it a try!
