Goal of the tool: did a small app to have kind of a flashcards app to learn species. Kind of based on Anki https://apps.ankiweb.net/. The idea is to help people memorize the species in a certain area.
Niche it fills in the iNaturalist ecosystem: iNaturalist helps in identifying species and has a lot of information about every specie. The idea of the app is to help memorize the existing species so when visiting a place you already have some idea of what can be found there.
Is there a commercial component, or do you plan into include one in the future? Are donations requested? (yes/no, explain): no commercial use. Did it for a personal purpose as a POC, but potentially will improve it for more people to use and so.
What sort of data (if any) does your app collect from its users?: nothing, everything gets stored locally (browser local storage)

Description: I did a flashcards app, it is a PWA so it can be installed. The idea is to select an area, a taxon (aves, insecta, etc) and the app will show a random selection of the “top 50 species”, “top 100” (etc), every time the user opens the app. It uses the idea of Anki, to reinforce the species that are difficult to remember. Maybe at some point I’ll publish it as an app in the PlayStore or something. Git: https://github.com/nobeeakon/inat-birds-pwa-test
Discussion questions or areas seeking feedback: Right now it is just an app I did for personal use (so UI/UX is not particularly good and some features are still in development), but happy to improve it if people find it useful/relevant https://nobeeakon.github.io/inat-birds-pwa-tes , yet, think something like this would be a good addition to the existing apps.
