botanic

A Meteor SPA web application for botanic garden management

This project was developed for Group project classes at Electronics, Telecommunications and Informatics faculty of Gdańsk University of Technology. It was intended for Gdańsk Medicinal Botanic Garden. The name group project is a little bit misleading, because this software was made only by me.

Have plans to improve this project in spare time.
