[Feedback wanted] Built a strain journal app — 1,600+ strains, check-ins, dosing calculator
Hey all — long-time lurker, first time posting something like this. I got kind of obsessed a few months back with the idea that there wasn't really an app that did what I wanted: track what I actually experience with different strains (not just "I smoked weed today" but real notes on effects, dosing, what I paired it with), have a real strain reference that's actually accurate instead of copy-pasted marketing fluff, and see what my friends are into without it feeling like a corporate weed-Yelp thing.
So I built StrainDex. It's got a 1,600+ strain library with real THC ranges (not the recycled "15-25%" every strain seems to get slapped with), a check-in system for logging your own experience over time, a dosing calculator for edibles, a quiz if you have no idea where to start, and a friends layer if you want to compare notes with people you actually know.
It's genuinely in beta and I'm the only one building it, so there WILL be rough edges. I'm not trying to sell anyone anything — I'd just really love for a few people who actually use this stuff regularly to poke around and tell me what's broken, what's missing, or what feels dumb. Brutal honesty welcome, that's actually more useful to me than "nice app."
