This post is merely to serve as an update into my progress on this project. On our main website I'm forecasting a 2017 release date. This project is a lot of work and takes a long time.
But let me back up a minute. You might not have heard of this project before. So what is it? Imagine that you're looking at a bird, but you have no idea what it is. It's some kind of duck-goose-swan, thing, but you don't know anything about it.
Now, imagine that there was something that could ask you a couple of quick questions about the bird you see and then identify that bird for you. That is what my identification tool does. ...hypothetically.
Why am I posting this update now? Because I just finished version 0.15 of this tool and I felt like sharing.
Version 0.1 of this tool included about 20 species of domesticated ducks.
I've now been expanding that to include both domestic and wild ducks, as well as geese and swans. Version 0.15 has 55 species of fowl encoded into the tool.
I'm already at work on the next expansion, version 0.2, which will expand that capacity to 142 species of duck, geese, and swan. You won't even have to know what you are looking at, the tool will sort it out for you.
After that, I'll add some pictures, update the visual appearance of the tool, and then I'll release it into the wild. of the internet.
By version 2.0 of the tool I'll add chickens, turkeys, and peafowl to it as well.
Planned upgrades for version 3.0 include the ability to cut to a specific type of bird and search just that.
I'll keep you posted on my progress in random spurts as I have news.
