BirdNet – Identify Birds by Sound
I had this idea nearly 10 years ago when my wife and I started dating and she introduced me to (very amateur) birding. I even talked about contacting Cornell for their database. But it was always going to be a hobby project.<p>So when she read about this a few weeks ago, she literally smacked me for not building it. Now if I tell her it's on the front page of Hacker News AND everyone here loves the idea even more, I'm going to get another, harder smack because she knows how HN is full of others like me!<p>(yes I'm aware that this community more than others will agree that ideas by themselves are a dime a dozen, but nonetheless, it would've been a really fun project)
