Various private digital projects that are realized during late nights, on vacation or small gaps in everyday life.

The garden app for windows phone

When I worked at Microsoft, I built an app to photograph and document my plants in the garden. The app became very popular and appreciated. Unfortunately, Windows Phone (opens in a new tab) was terminated as a phone and OS and thus the app no longer exists.

The Gardendiary synced all images and the database over Skydrive (now its called OneDrive (opens in a new tab)

Microsoft officially closed the Windows Phone app store on December 16, 2019.

The garden app for windows 8

The app was using the same database as the phone app. The Metro (opens in a new tab) design was at the time a big change in making native windows applications.

Multiple screenshoots of the app from 2013. All plants are from my own garden :-)
