For a *much* better botany experience, use one of the many awsome gemini clients which support client-side TLS certificates and go to:
=> gemini://astrobotany.mozz.us/ Astrobotany
-Some gemini clients - Elpher among them - are yet to properly support such certificates. μBotany aims to bring the joy of gardening to users of such clients!

## About
-μBotany is really just an experiment to see what can be done without employing client-side TLS certificates. In places of these, we rely on an account identifier (a SHA-1 hash of the account name and some random salt) transmitted in the query portion of the URI to uniquely specify accounts. Because this identifier is difficult to guess from the account name, and because the URI is transmitted to the server over TLS, I don't think this is a _terrible_ way of managing sessions.

As mentioned, μBotany is inspired by Mozz's Astrobotany. However, it's best thought of as a cut-down implementation of Jacob Funke's original Botany game, the source for which can be found here:
