We intend to guinea-pig the app with just 2 users - a local farm and local restaurant, where both owners have developed apps themselves -- but getting a grocery store on board with its own inventory system and needs would be a great next step. \\n\\nAlso had a great conversation with John Hoopes at Astral Protocol, who mainly specializes in geospatial functionality (which we want for dMRV but not in this phase), but also has great insight about integrating with Blockchain. Waiting on his input re our User stories as well.\",\"title\":\"Progress on the DeFood app\",\"type\":\"project-update\"}"}}]
