This is not a specific feature request, but rather a request for information: I would like to know if iNat is likely to have a web uploader, or a 3rd party app, that will make it faster and easier to decide which photos to upload, crop them, group them into observations, and finally hit go, all in o…

Thanks @jwidness I’ve not played around with that tool by @glmory . I really should, although I’m not nearly as comfortable in python as I am in R. @dlevitis note that you can do everything prior to the uploader except those two things I mentioned. In case you haven’t discovered this yet, it include…
