Why We Built Sebuah Farm
A farm record the whole team can update in the field in under ten seconds — and that the owner can read in one glance from anywhere.
Most farm records live in three places at once: a notebook in someone's back pocket, a group chat that scrolls away by lunch, and the manager's memory. Each works on its own. Together they answer almost nothing. Ask "what changed today" and you get three half-answers and a shrug.
Sebuah Farm is the record those three were standing in for.
Capture in the field, not after#
The person who knows a thing happened is the one standing next to the animal — usually outside, often with gloves on, between two other jobs. If recording it means waiting until they're back at a desk, it doesn't get recorded.
So capture is built for the barn: big targets, plain forms, one hand, ten seconds. Log a weight, a dose, a birth, a moved pen — then get back to work. The desk is for reading, not data entry.
One record, many roles#
A farm isn't one person. Owners control access and money. Managers reconcile. Editors capture. Viewers glance. Sebuah Farm gives them a single shared record and keeps the differences visible: what a viewer can see and do is plainly distinct from a manager or owner. Permission is part of the screen, not a gate hidden behind an error message.
The things a farm actually tracks#
Not abstractions — the day's real entries:
- Animals and pens — who's where, how full each pen is.
- Health — every needle, every dose, every follow-up.
- Breeding — expected births and breeding events, by dam.
- Feed — what's in the bin, what came in, what went out.
- Tasks — things to do, who's doing them, when they're due.
- Expenses — what the farm spent, ready to export.
The empty space is the design; the data is the feature. A screen should give you the one fact that matters in about a second.
"What changed today"#
That's the question the whole thing is built to answer. An owner should open the dashboard from anywhere and read the day — births, deaths, treatments, what's overdue — without scrolling past everything that didn't change. Correct, fast, and clear about who did what.
About this blog#
Two kinds of posts will live here: practical notes from the field — like raising broilers through the wet season — and the occasional note on what's new in the app. Plainspoken, useful, no filler. Same as the product.
