FLIP TABLE: storing arbitrary data in iNaturalist

Quality: 7/10 Relevance: 9/10

Summary

The article presents a playful yet technically interesting technique for encoding arbitrary data into iNaturalist observation IDs within a classic project, using a simple bit-division method and an app called YouDidIt.Bio. It discusses the constraints of unordered IDs, handling missing IDs, and a pragmatic decoding strategy, plus a live demo approach via a Vue app. It offers a unique example of data encoding leveraging public API data and a no-code-ish embedding flow for blogs.
