I think the main appeal of PoGo is just the collecting aspect, but some people are into the battling side of things. I'm not suggesting digial cock-fights, but maybe some sort of mini-games to use and show off 'rare finds' may go a long way. The comments here have many people comparing it to iNaturalist, maybe a good way to carve your own niche?

#72Ha, no way, I also built this: https://www.mikeayles.com/#zookeeper https://zookeeperapp.com/ I wasn't incentivized enough to actually make it into a proper native app or submit to either store, but it's cool to see something taken to the next step.

#73Earlier quoted context omitted.
Asking people to not use or develop specific types of apps is not asking for a stop to technological progress. Developing and using apps like this is a choice, there’s no inherent force propelling them into existence other than people thinking it’s a good idea. I’m explaining why it’s not a good idea.
No, you have to understand that technology is neutral and that there aren't inherent design flaws because only the people are flawed. Just let developers develop in peace

#74Have you taken a look at Picture Insect and Picture this (for plants, original). the incumbents are very specialized, making a simple app for all nature sounds ambitious. I never did find one for bird sounds, but that would be an interesting niche.
