BirdUp
Personal birding intelligence.
The problem
Serious birders already know the data is out there — eBird logs millions of sightings — but turning it into a decision is the hard part. When and where should I go this weekend? Raw checklists don't answer that.
Our approach
BirdUp turns eBird's firehose into a few clear signals: which hotspots are productive right now, what the migration and weather conditions look like, and whether this weekend is worth the early alarm. We built it as a progressive web app so it works on a phone in the field, on infrastructure that keeps the data fast wherever you are.
What shipped
A personal birding dashboard with a weekend planner, a hotspot ranker, and a live view of the conditions that decide whether a morning is worth it.
How it's built
A SvelteKit progressive web app on Cloudflare, powered by live eBird sightings data.
