Splitting this from a feature request . @pisum crafted a nice little tool for making iNat observations a bit more printer-friendly.

Works great now! This does exactly what it should do. I will be using this in the future for the purpose I mentioned above. Thanks!

you’re welcome. i’m glad this works for you. i’ll continue to refine this as i get time, and i’ll update here.

here’s the latest version. it displays and sorts dates a little more elegantly, allows you to include/exclude certain sections, and adds maps. you’re welcome to use and tweak without attribution (except that you should keep attribution for the third party stuff i included). i probably won’t make mor…

ok. i think i fixed the problem. i think when using the mouse wheel to scroll to the bottom of the page to pull in additional records, the previous code wouldn’t always trigger correctly. the new code (replaced above) should handle things better regardless of how you’re scrolling. while i was at it…

i revisited this today, fixing some minor bugs in the code, making it more efficient under the hood, adding some minor functionality (an optional map thumbnail, a taxon input box), and changing the formatting a bit. i also put this up in Github so that you don’t have to run your own local version of…
