not sure how useful this might be, but i went ahead and made a page to summarize identifications by category (including an “Other”, or uncategorized, category). it could provide a way for folks without direct access to the database to quickly get these stats for different sets of parameters.

page: [https://jumear.github.io/stirfry/iNat\_id\_summary\_by\_category.html](https://jumear.github.io/stirfry/iNat_id_summary_by_category.html)  
code: [https://github.com/jumear/stirfry/blob/gh-pages/iNat\_id\_summary\_by\_category.html](https://github.com/jumear/stirfry/blob/gh-pages/iNat_id_summary_by_category.html)

example usage: [https://jumear.github.io/stirfry/iNat\_id\_summary\_by\_category.html?own\_observation=false&user\_id=bouteloua&d1=2020-01-01&d2=2020-12-31](https://jumear.github.io/stirfry/iNat_id_summary_by_category.html?own_observation=false&user_id=bouteloua&d1=2020-01-01&d2=2020-12-31)

i might add a pie chart or something like that later…
