I love hackernews because I come here to procrastinate and end in rabbit holes (was looking at getting a raspberry pi for this project), and now I found about this app!

I use strava all the time so that's a great description

Hey, you guys are looking to implement BirdNET into iOS ? If so I have no problem sharing the code I'm using in a small app I made using BirdNET-Lite (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bird-sound-identifier/id154189...)

Cool. Bought it and much to my surprise, it worked. Surprised since I live in a city, construction going on, motorcycles passing and still: it detected my beloved house sparrows :)

Will give it a shot later tonight when the noise pollution dies down and the birds get going.

Thanks ! I'm now in the process of updating to the new 2022 model.

that's great! I'll drop you an email

Oh, wow! I'm currently working on a sort of BirdNET for pollinators, and am super excited by the possibility of gamification for amping up participation in these citizen science projects. Strava, Pokemon Go, etc. provide an excellent model that folks in conservation can draw on, & this sort of large-scale data is just radically empowering for sample-size constrained ecologists. I'll be looking for work in a few months, but really don't want to abandon the conservation space-- I'll be in touch!

App Store says Birda isn't available in my country or region. (USA). Hmm.

yes, we have only soft launched in the UK and South Africa, US folks wanting a preview can email me [email protected] for a beta invite

Look for my CV in your inbox in the next day or two. (Based in Ireland and would rather avoid the emissions of flying, maybe a ferry option could work out though)

Cool. Do you integrate with eBird at all? I've done quite a bit of work in this field and would love to chat with you guys. Email in my profile.

not yet, but will do soon!

My hobby is bird photography. I'll definitely check your app out.
