Name it, then look up: a field guide where the phone's job ends after one photo
This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 1: Touch Grass Most nature apps have the same quiet problem. You see a bird, you lift your phone, and by the time the app has told you its name, the bird has gone and you're still reading about it. I wanted the opposite.

Spotted is a pocket field guide designed to be used on a phone or in a browser. After you take or upload a single photo of a bird, lizard, insect, tree, or plant, the app suggests a name from an open model. Next, it prompts you to look up the subject and notice one thing within a 60-second window. The goal is to get you to pause and observe the nature around you, rather than just reading about the identified species.
