1. My Projects: the list

My Projects is the front door. Two buttons in its header start a new one:

• New Garden — urban, terrace, home and community gardens, green roofs; typically up to about 1,000 m².
• New Eco Project — farms, eco-villages, ecosystem restoration, reforestation; from about 1,000 m² to many hectares.

The type is not cosmetic: it decides which tools the project offers and what the Design unlock costs for it. Pick by the site you actually have, not by ambition.

Finding one project among many

Above the cards there is a toolbar with three controls, all client-side and instant:

• a search box — Search projects by name or location… — which matches the project name and its address;
• filter chips: All, Gardens, Eco Projects;
• a sort menu: Newest first, Oldest first, Name A–Z.

Because search matches the name, the name is worth thinking about. A site name plus the year — "Kestel Orchard 2026" — beats "Project 1" the moment you have four of them.

2. What a project card gives you

Each card carries a map thumbnail of the real site, a type chip, and a weather chip that opens the live forecast for that location. The card as a whole is one large link: clicking anywhere on it — the footer says Open Project → — opens that project's Project Map.

Along the card's footer are the direct tool links, so you can jump straight past the map when you already know where you are going:

• Research Hub — the site analysis for this project.
• Design, or Unlock Design when the project has not been unlocked yet. The unlock button opens the purchase modal on this page, bound to this project.
• Farmer Hub, or Activate Farmer Hub when the project has no hub yet.
• Settings — the nine configuration sections.

Your first project

With no projects yet, My Projects shows a three-step strip instead of cards — research it, design it, and what each stage includes — with Create Garden Project and Create Eco Project buttons underneath. It is the same two routes as the header buttons, spelled out.

3. The Project Map is the control room

Opening a project does not land you on a settings form. It lands you on a map of the project itself: four labelled regions — Research, Design, Application & Construction, Farm — and every step inside them drawn as a disc marked done, next, available or locked.

The banner that tells you what to do next

Across the top of the map sits a single-line banner naming one step and saying why that one. It is not a to-do list and it is not random; it follows a fixed order of priority:

1. Something is due. A farm domain past its refresh date wins over everything else, because it is the only thing on the map that goes stale on a clock.
2. Momentum. Otherwise it picks the cluster you are closest to finishing, so you close out work already started instead of scattering.
3. The sequence. Otherwise it walks Research → Design → Farm in order and names the first unfinished step.
4. A gate. If everything reachable is done, it names the lock in the way — the Design unlock, or the Farm subscription — and offers the button for it.
5. Nothing. When every mapped step is complete it says so, and stops asking.

Momentum is only ever evaluated inside the stage the sequence already chose, so the banner re-orders steps within a stage but never skips a stage.

How to read your Project Map

4. Project settings: nine sections

Settings is a sidebar of nine sections, each showing a green check once it holds data: Project Basics, Design Preferences, Climate, Soil Characteristics, Water, Hydrology, Topography, Vegetation and Expertise.

None of them is mandatory and all of them can be changed at any time. They matter because they are what the AI reads: an agent asked about drainage answers from your Hydrology and Soil sections, and answers thinly if they are empty. The AI site analysis also writes its own estimates into several of these sections, which you are then free to correct.

What belongs in each of the nine sections

5. What is bought per project, not per account

This is the single most common misunderstanding, so it is worth stating flatly. Your credits belong to your account. Your unlocks belong to individual projects.

Work you did before a lock is never lost. If a subscription lapses, the records stay and the hub reopens where you left it when you resubscribe.

6. Running several projects at once

Nothing is shared between projects — separate settings, separate research, separate unlocks, separate maps. What limits how many you can have is project spaces: each new project consumes one, and with none left the New Garden and New Eco Project buttons stop you with "You need at least 1 project space available." More are bought from your user profile.

Two habits make a portfolio manageable:

• Name for search. The toolbar searches names and locations, so put the site in the name.
• Let each map hold its own state. You do not need a spreadsheet of what is finished where; each Project Map already shows its four regions' fractions, and its banner tells you which one is waiting on you.

7. Two things the app deliberately does not do

• There is no delete button. A project cannot be removed from My Projects by the owner — research, purchases and farm records hang off it. If you genuinely need one gone, contact support.
• Projects have one owner. A project belongs to the account that created it; there is no invite and no team seat, and nobody else can edit it. What you can do is publish a read-only page of it — section 8 below.

8. Sharing your project

Every project can publish a read-only page that you hand out as a link. The Share button sits in the Project Map header and on each My Projects card; both open the project's Share page, which is the only place sharing is controlled from. Nothing is public until you switch the link on there.

What you choose

The Share page lists the project's sections in the same order as the Project Map, each with a tick box. Sections you have not run yet, or that sit behind a lock you have not bought, cannot be ticked — there is nothing to show. Tick what the reader should see, choose which finished reports to attach, decide whether to offer the free Project Brief, save, then press Turn on. The page shows the link and how many times it has been opened.

What the reader gets

The link needs no account. It opens an overview of the project with one page per section you ticked, the attached reports as downloads, and the Project Brief in Markdown, Word and PDF. A Present button turns the same pages into a full-screen deck, and the browser's print command produces a clean print sheet. The reader changes nothing: the only thing a visit writes is the view counter on your Share page.

Taking it back

Turn off makes the link a not-found page at once, and turning it back on brings the same link back. Regenerate issues a new link and kills the old one for good — use it when a link has gone further than you meant it to.
