Ever thought about giving annotating a go?

just to clarify, you mean add an image to a comment that you leave on someone’s observation? If yes, then this is already possible to do. See for example the comments I left at https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/322341824

to do this, you need to have the image hosted/stored somewhere online, eg in a google drive, in Imgur, something like that

when you’re writing your comment, where you want the image to appear, paste the following text:

<img. src=“https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/d/1hkUdUo7-5IY7eFQz3ACGTOYznFd_jvJz”>

but then two important things:

  1. remove the period that I inserted after the text string ‘img’; I just put it there to break the functionality so you can view and copy the text (otherwise you’ll just see an image here)

  2. the url contained within the " " needs to be replaced with the link for your own image. To get that link, you just right click on the image wherever you’re hosting it, and then select ‘copy image address’, and then paste that into the above code between the " "

note: if you’re storing your images in a google drive, it’s a bit different. You would click on the image, then click ‘share’, then ‘copy link’. That link will look like this:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lfJ9ML9UQFXTYnfrNmBF9VGTIR6JpSHP/view?usp=sharing

copy only the random number/letter string, ie 1lfJ9ML9UQFXTYnfrNmBF9VGTIR6JpSHP in this case. And then in my original code above, only replace the random letter/number string with this new one, don’t replace the entire url between the " "
