Mecropolis: Tracking Crop Stages from Past Weather

Mecropolis is a specialized farm management application designed to track crop growth stages by calculating Growing Degree Days (GDD) based on historical weather data. Built as a Vite and React single-page application, it utilizes Sanity as a backend content lake and Cloudflare Pages for serverless functions. The platform allows farm managers to log observations, treatments, and pest reports, while automatically advancing crop stages when specific GDD thresholds are met. The developer built the entire project using Claude Code, navigating challenges like API limitations and hosting constraints. Key features include a MapLibre-based regional weather dashboard, semantic search for field logs, and AI-driven season summaries. The project is open-source, MIT-licensed, and demonstrates a robust integration of modern web technologies with real-world agricultural data, providing a scalable solution for farm managers to monitor seasonal progress through precise environmental tracking.
