alt Hacker NewsNice! I’ve been working on https://treeseek.ca which is a different use case from most of the other open data tree sites I’ve seen — I want to be instantly geolocated and shown the nearest trees to me. I do a lot of walking and am often mesmerized by a particular tree, and I wanted something to help me identify them as quickly as possible, with more confidence and speed than e.g. iNaturalist (which i do also use).
This is an app that’s been bouncing around in my head for over a decade but finally got it working well enough for my own purposes about a year and a half ago.
Oh that's great! I was finding fun tree collections and wanted to go see them - unfortunately not in SF so not likely - but your app has some nice data around me that I can check out! Are you primarily using OSM data?
I was thinking of a google maps kind of "here you are, here's your walking path of interesting trees" potentially, or something else that could tie the overview to the street experience - on the backlog!
