Hi everyone,

The past couple of weeks I've been working on a field-app built especially for ecologists. The main trigger was that as an engineer working in ecology, I've often heard frustrations from other engineers about data-management in fieldwork. 

So I've started building something that would improve the fieldwork experience, tailored towards ecology:

• Offline first
• Records structured data (customisable attributes but trying to provide everything out of the box)
• Exports to Darwin Core Archive, Shapefile, GeoPackage, CSV, or custom templates for your local records centre
• GPS track recording, photo attachment, equipment logging

It's still in early development and only a couple of people are testing it (I can not support any more testers at the moment) but I'd really value input from people who deal with this daily:

• Is the reformatting step for ecology databases a real pain point, or just annoying but manageable?
• Where does your data actually end up? GBIF? NBN Atlas?
• What would make you trust a new tool enough to use it on a real field campaign?

I've put up a page with more detail if anyone's curious: gettaxon.com

I'd love some honest feedback.
