PlantPop

PlantPop makes tracking your plant diversity as satisfying as popping bubbles. Based on research from the American Gut Project showing that people who eat 30+ different plants per week have a more diverse gut microbiome, PlantPop turns dietary diversity tracking into a delightful, frictionless experience.
