Flip TABLE: storing arbitrary data in iNaturalist
A few weeks ago, my friend Marcos ran an event called FLIP TABLE, celebrating unconventional database technology, including Strava, steganography, encoded number puzzles, and hair.
I wanted to do something with iNaturalist. Could a database be made out of species? Or observations of species? What if my to-do list was biodiverse?
My FLIP TABLE demo app, "YouDidIt.Bio"* answers all of these questions.
Every observation on iNaturalist has a unique ID, which I have previously used to embed iNaturalist easily into this very blog you are reading now.
