Farm intelligence dashboard for East African smallholder farmers. # FarmPulse **Farm intelligence dashboard for East African smallholder farmers.** FarmPulse combines real-time weather forecasting with AI-powered tree canopy analysis to deliver actionable, context-aware insights — not just data. Instead of showing a farmer "rain is coming" and "12 trees need care" separately, FarmPulse cross-references both to surface recommendations like *"rain expected Thursday — ideal conditions to replant the 4 flagged trees."* Built as a technical assessment integrating the WeatherAI API. **Live demo:** farmpulse-1.onrender.com **Backend:** farmpulse-l2c0.onrender.com --- ## Features - **Current conditions** — temperature, humidity, wind, UV index, with Gemini AI summary - **7-day forecast** — daily breakdown with precipitation probability - **Auto-detect location** — uses WeatherAI's IP geo-detection to find the user's farm region automatically - **Farm tree analysis** — upload a drone or satellite image to get tree count, canopy coverage, health breakdown (healthy / needs care / needs replacement), and agronomic recommendations powered by OpenCV + Gemini - **Insight Banner** — cross-references weather forecast and tree health to generate combined, actionable farm recommendations - **Annotated overlay** — visual output showing detected tree crowns on the uploaded image --- ## Tech Stack | Layer | Technology | |---|---| | Frontend | React, Vite | | Backend | Node.js, Express | | Image handling | Multer (memory storage) | | HTTP client | Axios | | API | WeatherAI (`/v1/weather`, `/v1/weather-geo`, `/v1/trees/analyze`) | | Frontend deploy | Netlify | | Backend deploy | Render | --- ## Architecture ``` Client (React + Vite) │ │ GET /api/weather?lat=&lon= │ GET /api/weather/current │ POST /api/trees/analyze (multipart/form-data) ▼ Express Proxy (Node.js) ← API key lives here only │ │ Authorization: Bearer wai_... ▼ WeatherAI API (api.weather-ai.co) ``` The backend is a deliberate thin proxy — its only responsibility is …
