Indie-built birding app hides locations of critically endangered spoon-billed sandpiper

Alchain shared the birding app he built with AI: species cards with ID features and global ranges, plus a thoughtful design choice — locations are deliberately hidden for critically endangered species like the spoon-billed sandpiper (only 240-456 mature individuals, IUCN CR, China's top-level protected).

Building the app also led him to donate ¥1,000 to a spoon-billed sandpiper conservation fund.
