it’s best to pull the smallest version of the photo that you need for your use case.

EDIT: it may also be worth noting that:

  1. the best way to get better at identifying is probably to identify (https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/recruiting-more-identifiers/2388, https://www.inaturalist.org/blog/35758-we-ve-reached-1-000-000-observers)
  2. folks have made other quiz type things (https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/how-well-do-you-know-your-local-wildlife-now-you-can-test-yourself/10711), but as far as i know, no one has made anything to display a photo slideshow (https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/presentation-mode-as-a-full-screen-slideshow-of-observation-images/8316), nor a more modern way to share observations on social media (https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/share-observations-with-one-click-to-other-social-media/1214).
  3. if you know Python or want to learn Python (beyond kivy), there’s this project, which i believe is done in Python: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/seeking-discord-bot-development-collaborators/7137.

welcome to the forum.
