UI : show new and rare species on top in overview.php

[alexbelgium]

Proposal : highlight new species in a given day

How :

• when a new species, or rare (not seen in last 14 days) is detected, put a banner on top to show them showing the species name and max confidence.
• If there is more than 5, just add a link to Today's table
• If no new species, same layout as before

Another solution for this proposal : #143

Don't mind the 0%, I faked a new species for my tests

Additional ideas :

• Put a "x" next to the species, so that if we click it, it gets ignored for the rest of the day and disappears from the table. This would be done with a temporary file that would store the names of such species
• Instead of showing only new species, show also "uncommon" species : species with less than 5 detections over the past 7 days (as current logic for apprise). This helps for example see when a birds gets back from its winter places. Of course there would be a field to show if it's a new, or an uncommon species. I fear there would be too many at the same time, but then that's where the x comes in play.

Hi @lloydbayley, if you're still around and are interested by the idea I would be really interested by your feedback ! From a logic & coding POV

[lloydbayley]

If I'm still around? Now I really feel included. The last time I tried an opinion, it resulted in a public telling off, which I don't abide. Pass.

I've added also rare species - for example species not seen since x days, and it says the last time it was seen (for example : Last seen : 3m ago)

[alexbelgium]

Code should be final now, including configuration for the duration before which a species becomes "rare" :) I see that as a fast overview of new species, and species not encountered in a long time (like seasonal species, or just ones rarely seen). Default for rare species is 30 days to avoid overload. I've already implemented it in the homeassistant add-on and currently it runs well

[alexbelgium]

Makes me think that currently apprises notifications considers that a "rare" species is a species not seen in 5 days. We could make that linked to the same new option - honestly a specie not seen in 5 days is not that rare. For example after a bout of rains (quite lengthy in Belgium) I get 5 common "rare species" that just don't like their feathers wet

Nice and smart, but what slightly different/cleaner layout?

[alexbelgium]

Updated proposal :

• Max confidence
• Last seen
• Hour of first seen today (number of occurences today)

[alexbelgium]

Cleaned the history

Update : layout is now depending on screen size :

800px

This is really nice!
How about using these unified "bird cards" elsewhere on the site, such as Top10/New birds in the weekly overview?

[alexbelgium]

Thanks for the feedback!

Well those bird cards were initially globally aligned with the 5 latest but I see your point for the weekly overview. It should be feasible but should be managed through a specific feature request & PR to avoid complexifying this PR

love this!
