I gave it a second try with one species:
Easily Missed - find data gaps in iNaturalist (simonrolph.github.io)
I have implemented this and should be online now thanks!

The headline numbers at the top of the page will be correct, but sometimes it doesn’t always list all the species in the list itself which is an issue I’m aware of.
I have been experimenting with even more customisable urls which simultaneously improves and ruins the app…
If you go to https://simonrolph.github.io/easily_missed/dev2 then enter queries in the url
- any variable you want applied to everything as normal,
- if you want to apply a filter to the “inner circle” then prepend the parameter with
i_ - for applying a filter to the “outer circle” by prepending the parameter with
o_
This means it is super flexible in what you want to compare species lists of.
For example if I want to see how many birds species I have seen out of the UK’s birds I could do use this url: https://simonrolph.github.io/easily_missed/dev2?iconic_taxa=Aves&place_id=6857&i_user_id=simonrolph
Or how about I wanted to see what plant species had been missed in a particular site compared to species in the wider area using 2 different inat ‘places’ https://simonrolph.github.io/easily_missed/dev2?iconic_taxa=Plantae&o_place_id=129945&i_place_id=147759
However, the map and the advanced options are slightly broken at the moment depending on what filters you apply but I think the UI would really need a rethink if we go down this route. Also my javascript coding ability is kinda hitting it’s limits…

dev2 provided the screen but no data for me…
Thank you for your tool.

Something should be done to make lists of unseen to be more consistent, e.g. I use these two links, one where 300 species are missing the list shows me only 20 species in unseen, and the other one where % of observed is much lower, it presents 121 species while only about 200 are missing, other than placement everything seems to be the same.
Hi @simonrolph - This may be getting a bit away from your primary objective, but I wondered if, on your Recorded Species tab, it would be possible to mark any species that were unique to the inner circle (NOT seen in the surrounding doughnut). For people who may be using your tool to “work” on an area and build a species list, those species might be of special interest. Since it might not be of interest to everyone, maybe as a secondary button to push on that tab?
This is seriously awesome, thank you! Would it be possible to add pictures to the list, so we can tell at a glance what it is? Just a suggestion, of course :)
@simonrolph Did you see https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1755-0998.13840 ? It would be neat to do a side by side of eDNA analysis vs. Easily Missed suggestions, and maybe even see if there’s a ring radius that correlates best (assuming no nearby ecoregion boundaries or similar result-skewing things).
