A webapp for learning to identify birds.
Right now this is limited to North American species, but hopefull others will be added in the future
- Different difficulties (1-5)
- Cache photos on the server side
- Use geotagging data to figure out where/when image was taken, and use that as a hint
- "Birds near you": Filter by birds seen in a selected area (supposing the eBird API still works)
- Let users type in their answers and earn points
- Perhaps some more fine-grained difficulty settings on the easier end of the spectrum
- Source from other sites (does 500px have an API? Google image search? etc)
- Let users mark images as unclear/wrongly marked/blurry/etc
- Filter by genus, group ("warblers"), etc
- Include non-ABA North American birds
If there's a feature you'd like to add, I'd love to see it!
Ping me via IRC (flowerhack on freenode) or email ([email protected]) if you have any questions, or just open the PR and I'll take a look.
Thanks to the New River Birding and Nature Festival in 2014. A group of us played an IRL version of this game during my time there, and I liked it so much I wanted to make this app.
