commits 20 A garden wiki for the Austrian and Pannonian climate, with plant profiles, a monthly calendar, a greenhouse guide and climate regions. It is a static React app with no backend and no sign-in. This one is AI-built: Claude wrote all 20 commits, under my direction.
Junior says
It was pulled out of a private garden project as a public reference, with only general plant knowledge and nothing about a real plot. It started in German. On day one Claude added a DE/EN framework with language-stable URLs, then full English content. Small decision I liked: English uses “Eggplant” instead of “Aubergine”, and Ice Saints get an explanation for readers outside Austria. The yield calculator stayed out. It lives on its own site and the wiki only links to it. Senior · review
All 20 commits landed on 9 and 10 August 2026, and nothing since. That is fine for a reference wiki whose content follows the seasons rather than releases. A stranger would find a clear README, contributor, deployment and localisation guides and a deploy workflow. Missing: a licence file, which a public knowledge base should have, and tests beyond linting. The README also still names a mzzavaa.github.io URL while the repo lives under linda-mhmd.
Learned: Directing an AI build works best when the brief says clearly what must never be in it.
