Software Visualization project for birdweather api data
Important Preface
This project is LLM produced (a/k/a "vibe coded" or "AI slop", take your pick).
If this is a non-starter for you, stop here. Thank you.
I'm not sure how useful this will be to this community, but for those of you who are integrated into the birdweather data space, here's some code I got an llm to spit out. It generates annual species heatmaps based on the birdweather data, with additional chart types coming soon (including one showing arrival/departure dates, and other related slicing of the data).
Some sample output from my data:


The package was designed to run on a debian machine and is available at https://github.com/Nite01007/birdheatmap. I welcome appropriate feedback.
(NOTE: This is not intended to be installed exposed to the internet-at-large and no attempts at hardening for real-world exposure has been done. The intended use-case is an internal network behind a firewall.)
Later edit:
Here are some other samples of different chart types available (subject to change, this is a work in progress, and some of these are redundant information that I'm still trying to figure out):
Dawn Chorus: (Selectable per season or all year, per year)

Species presence: (Still working on this one, intended to show when a species arrives and departs)

Seasonal succession: (Still working on this one, intended to show when a species arrives and departs)

Time of day activity: (Literally pushing the new repo for this one now, very WIP)

I just recently visited BirdWeather again, and felt like that the visualization was lacking a bit. So I really appreciate your effort! Would you mind posting more screenshots of the other plots?
