title: Birds of Zevenwacht
3+
summary: |-
4+
Web and data design, followed by web development on a community-driven project that extends my love for bird-watching
5+
description: |-
6+
<p>A freelance community project to catalogue sightings and photos of birds in my neighbourhood.</p>
7+
<p>The site contains:</p>
8+
<ul>
9+
<li>over 150 bird species and their data
10+
<li>over 300 bird photos from several contributors
11+
<li>hundreds of logged sightings of birds
12+
<li>bounded areas of the various farms and housing estates in the area
13+
<li>metadata such as cameras used, EXIFs, bird lists, and geolocation of sightings and photos
14+
</ul>
15+
observations:
16+
- I respect product and web designers a lot more after working on this project; good design is difficult but important work
17+
- View Transitions are amazingly simple to implement
18+
- It's time to start using an application server like Django or Rails
19+
- Custom Sighting and Photo data could be better integrated with SABAP2 formats
20+
responsibilities:
21+
- Created a photo EXIF-reading tool to generate data stubs, minimising content entry responsibilities
22+
- Creating JSON Schemas for data entry, to minimse problems with the YAML data entries
23+
- Responsive image generation in AVIF format, falling back to JPEG
24+
- Web development with Eleventy
25+
- PWA features

Building, documenting and testing UI patterns for Lil Regie so that they can build extensive front-ends.

Lil Regie had a design done by Tim James for their new site, and they wanted a CMS-powered website to go with it. So I set about making a pattern library, which we called <i>Lil Regie's Front-end Workshop</i>. The Workshop included a static representation of the homepage, which was later used in their live site.
