Also, related to this a notification that tells me when I reported a new species in my life list that reaches RG status would be amazing. Adding some optional statistics to the notification itself would be fantastic (but I’m aware this would be challenging to implement), e.g. [taxon name] is your Nth species and your Mth species of [class the species it belongs too]. It’s been observed Q times in [relevant geographical context]). There’s ample evidence in the social computing literature that self-directed notifications like this one contribute to new user retention.
