My personal first observations of a species

here’s a related feature request:

here’s the closest thing you can get in the system, i think:
https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/sort-list-by-first-last-observed/4069/2

outside of the system, there are lots of ways to get an answer:

  • you could write something (in HTML+Javascript, just Javascript, R, Python, etc.) to figure this out by getting data via the API
  • you could download your observations as CSV, aggregate by taxon, and then get the min(id) and/or min(date) by taxon. (this could be done using Excel, R, SQL, etc.)
