I just released a simple website for Northstead. Northstead is a software system for wholesale plant nurseries. For the past year and a half my family's farm has been using Northstead and it's working really well for them. Hoping to put it out there so other folks can use it.

A few months ago, a couple other engineers and I built an open source church website template on the Payload CMS. It has a go backend with an AI assistant which makes it possible to generate pages and update the entire site with a prompt.
Basically my idea was to create a highly structured system so that it'd be easier for church admins to update site content, and not destroy the site design while doing it.
Would really love your feedback on it. I haven't had much time to work on it since, but still think it could be useful with a few more changes.
I don't think this benchmark is fair, since they clearly state the hardware they used wasn't compatible with the OS.
I really wish we could build a truly decentralized server platform.
It's been over 4 years since I first built this site. A lot of passion went into it. But that being said, I'm not sure if I have much more. I think there is a lot of potential for NurseryPeople, but I don't think I'm the one to make it a reality. If you're interested, please reach out.
Some quick facts: Over 1,000 registered users. More than 2000 nursery listings. Over 25,000 plants are listed on the site. More than 5,000 organic monthly users.
Revenue and financials: Around $60/month in expenses to run the site. ~$40/month in AdSense and subscriber revenue. Net loss of ~$20/month.
