πŸ“£ NEW! I’ve just released the BIGGEST and perhaps most creative project I’ve ever worked on!

β€œSearching for Birds” searchingforbirds.visualcinnamon.com 🐀

A project, an article, an exploration that dives into the data that connects humans with birds, by looking at how we search for birds.

Saw a Short-tailed Hawk, Fulvous Whistling-Duck, *and* just now: heard Goose puking under the couch but when we went to clean it up, there was no puke. Good day!

This is what the web is for. If you ever ask yourself, "why did all those people in the 1990s stop watching TV and start typing things on the open web?" this is why. Utterly niche shit that could only exist in a free, collaborative space without ads. rickiheicklen.com/unparalleled...

Good idea! btw, is the observable framework repo on github? There are some broken links I found while browsing that I could flag.
