"I've recently been working on a little side project for fun and practice: a Grow a Garden Calculator. It's a simple web tool that helps players calculate values and trades inside the Grow a Garden game. The idea is to make it easier for players to: check the value of different crops, pets, and items, plan fair trades, and experiment with different strategies."
"Not really digging the cursor being forcibly changed to something without a precision point... Was it truly necessary to make the (fourth) ad sticky to the view? Screams "I value money over users' usability". The "Search for a plant" and "Search for a mutation" boxes don't maintain the right margin on small width screens. It took my browser a very long time to load the categories section the first time out. You may need to look at mitigation/lazyloading strategies there."
An interactive Grow a Garden Calculator provides a web-based tool for calculating values and trades within the Grow a Garden game. The tool enables players to check values of crops, pets, and items, plan equitable trades, and experiment with strategy variations. Input is requested on usability, design, workflow improvements, and additional features such as alternative calculators or mobile-first capabilities. The project is non-commercial and aims to improve skills and utility. Early user feedback noted intrusive ads, a forced cursor change, search-box margin issues on narrow screens, slow initial loading of the categories section, and a recommendation to implement lazy loading. Some users reported they would use custom styles or ad-blocking to reduce intrusiveness.
