It's a shame this doesn't go further and make the knowledge open source.
If the hosts for this project ever stop then all the info contribution goes to waste :/
I know it would be impractical but i would like to see something like this powered by an open repo where for example all the guides and plant info was stored in a format like markdown docs.
Could use something simple like Docusaurus to power the front end and then have contributors use some sort of front end that wraps that git pull part so non coders could still add to it.
The beautiful thing is that plant data can be accessed without any compute.
They write all the knowledge is Public domain and CC0. So it is .
There's an issue on their github asking about how to download the db. It's from February 2022 and has no responses.

Not really. Where can I download the database?
Idk. I had a look at their 'About us' section on their homepage. It's not my project. Write them another bugreport, let them know their community dislikes this. And also write a paragraph about being Hippocrates writing about 'openness' and then not sharing their data for years.
Or just a MediaWiki database
"All of OpenFarm’s data and content is in the Public Domain (CC0) and readily accessible via our API within reasonable bandwidth limits" from their about plus a link to their API (though stated in alpha).
Ooh that's very cool, I must investigate :3
