What it does
A mobile web app for spotting wildlife.
- Nearby: a map and list of species recorded within 1–5 km in the past week, with a local rarity rating.
- Photo identification: suggests what a plant or animal is from a photo, using AI models that run in the browser and work offline.
- Collection: a Pokédex-style record of the species you've found, with levels and achievements.
- Community: a feed for sharing sightings (currently runs in demo mode with sample posts).
- Offline support: installs to the home screen and keeps working without a connection.
