Funding the Chaos: Tools for the Modern Grower & Developer 🌿

I’m Shannon Goddard, a solo full-stack developer and the founder of Loyal9 LLC. For over 19 years, I’ve navigated leadership and operations, and now I’m applying that "get it done" mindset to building high-utility, open-source tools for industries that are often overlooked by big tech.

🚀 What I’m Building

Most of my energy goes into GrowApp, a 100% free cannabis cultivation platform. With over 2,800 verified strains, smart nutrient scheduling, and AI-driven plant diagnostics, it’s designed to take the guesswork out of growing.

Alongside the app, I maintain CI-Strains-Pro, an immutable ledger of 21k+ cannabis strains. I believe data should be clean, accessible, and free of "trust-me-bro" inaccuracies.

💖 Why Sponsor?

I am committed to keeping GrowApp free and ad-free. Privacy and utility come first. However, running an app with 7,000+ users involves real costs:

• Infrastructure: AWS serverless costs and database hosting.
• API Fees: Powering the AI diagnostics and strain intelligence.
• Development: Time spent researching genetics and shipping new features.

⚡️ The Vision

Your sponsorship isn't just a donation; it's a vote for independent, useful software. It allows me to stay focused on the "Chaos Preferred" philosophy—experimenting with blockchain ledgers, decentralized data, and tools that help people grow better.

If my work has saved you a crop, a headache, or just a few hours of research, consider joining the journey.
