Congrats on the launch @finh_cc. Curious, does ASH need any sort of connectivity or can it function "out of the box" in any remote area. Super cool and love having something that isn't my phone to explore.

@gabe__perez Hi Gabe, yes it does! The goal was to make something that required no internet connection, so it's all decentralised. We've added some links to the dataset used in the last page of the product deck (which is at the bottom of the project webpage).

@finh_cc righteous! Gonna keep my eyes on this, it'd be fun to use with the family. Thanks and can't wait to see the final product.

Once upon a time there were the little i-Spy pocket books. i-Spy nature, i-Spy trees, i-Spy creepy crawlies etc. Lovely - but limited. Either all too obvious and all found all too quickly - or exotica that I never found. ASH FIXES ALL OF THAT! (and does an awful lot more) https://collins.co.uk/collection...

@finh_cc this is amazing. I am an adventure SCUBA diver momma of an 8 y/o ++ CS person investing in toys/edtech. Have bought/tested many geekery toys... This is amazing in building a future of curious ecoguardians and adventurers. I love that one of the labels is “friend”. “sharks are friends” I often say. We all need to establish emotional bonds with nature to care enough to protect it... Kudos. Awesomeness

@zurgun I couldn't agree more! Actually since we starter working on this product we noticed how much kinder we are to the smallest of insects, even those ones we would normally just squish! It would make us super happy to make something that also worked underwater eventually, and thank you for the kind words!

Please let me know when this is available. BTW I think $60 is pretty ambitious as an initial price point and you'll still sell plenty of these in the $100 - $200 range

@tim_h123 That's good feedback Tim. It's tricky. We want to make it accessible, but also need some margin. Will keep you updated!
