Hi all! For the purposes of using iNat data to study oak gall wasps, we need to add both generation and phenology data (as well as sometimes undescribed species codes and host associations) as observation fields. That process is fairly cumbersome and time-consuming through the default Identify inte…

I would use this to annotate which organs are visible in the Living Bivalves project!

Yes please. I would use it for mainly invert recording to quickly add items such as sex, stage, abundance, etc. Many thanks.

not sure how you have things set up in your extension, but it seems like you could allow folks to customize the extension themselves by offering a way to define their own buttons, perhaps with a simple array of definitions, as shown below. probably it would be nice to be able to define multiple set…

This is awesome, I would love to use this extension! I’m adding the presence of bacterial infection symptoms as an observation field to Trillium plants and I think this would speed things up a lot.

I have thought about doing this and it would definitely make the tool more universalizable beyond the time I can personally customize it. I will take a look into it but it’ll take me longer to get to if I try to pull that off. I wonder if there’s a way to let people do this that doesn’t require the…

[image] Megachile: I wonder if there’s a way to let people do this that doesn’t require them to do it every time they launch the extension? if i’m understanding you correctly, i think you would just store the user’s setup in storage.sync.

I’m a deeply incompetent coder, but is this open source / is there a github link? Folks might be able to help customize it for you.

[image] schizoform: is there a github link? probably this (at least for now): [image] API authentication help I’m working on a browser extension that allows one-click addition of specific observation field values. [image] API authentication help The code I am using in this aspect sh…

That was just my auth flow code; the code for the Extension itself is here: https://github.com/Megachile/Phenology/tree/main/inathelperJS I am a novice coder myself; I’ve built some small tools in R but this is the first time I’ve ever used javascript at all. GPT4 actually wrote the code; I just a…

not really related to what youre asking, but it would be great if there was a way to narrow down potential species/get a list of potential spp. by tagging/identifying something as a “gall”. Not sure if this exists, but i see so many all the time and forget (or dont know) which spp they are…

I built a browser extension to enter observation fields with one click in the Identify window; would other groups use it?
