For this! You win the trophy.

Nobody wants to use a placeholder. Draft mode is an open request. https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/create-a-draft-mode-for-uploaded-observations/2538 2019 was a good year, we can wait.
Nobody CAN use a placeholder.

  1. Cannot be for private notes - the soap bubble is real, we all could see it.
  2. If you did make cryptic notes - (((those rare orchids are under the ancient apple tree just inside Jon’s blue gate))) - the bubble implodes before you can use your notes.
  3. Why would we want to makes notes on a soap bubble??

@lynnharper I hope iNat does not ever force observers to add an ID, any ID. We do our best when we upload. I have been on obs where respected taxon specialists argue back and forth about which kingdom is this??
