What's in 1.1.1 Farmer Stories (Log tab) - Record a spoken insight with the mic → shared to the community, attributed to your profile - Up/down voting, sorted by score, playable in-app (audio player on each story) - Disclaimer under the record button covers community sharing + future AI-training use - You can delete your own stories - New farmer_stories + story_votes tables (score kept via trigger) + public stories audio bucket Species within a field - Hunt a species whose GPS falls inside a field's polygon → it now shows on that field's page under "Species spotted here," attributed to whoever captured it (PostGIS point-in-polygon, gated on membership) Weekly Challenges rotation - Expanded the pool to 24 and made them a sliding weekly window, so they actually change each week (they were repeating before) Points are notes, not parcels - Dropping a pin on the FIELD map now attaches a typed note to the field it lands in (via point-in-polygon) instead of creating a new parcel - Note types: Soil Sample, Water Sample, Observation, Other — and these are now options in the Log's activity picker too - Notes flow into the Log as entries (not separate parcels)

What's New in 1.1.0 Fields are better together. • Shared fields on your map — Fields other users grant you access to now appear right on your FIELD map, marked in amber, alongside your own. • Collaborate on field notes — Add point notes to any field you're a member of.

EcoPlot is now a community. • Profiles & Community — Add a photo and bio, go public, and search for other field scientists. Climb the Planet Points leaderboard. • Shared fields — Request access to another user's field, or approve members on your own.

Each capture is now tagged by type. • Smoother map — The map stays put now — no more sideways drift while you pan and zoom. • Snap to your location — Tapping locate (or searching an address) reliably zooms right to the spot, even when you're zoomed way out. Keep documenting the wild, one specimen at a time.

What's New in 1.0.1 We've made it faster to get where you're going and easier to trust your finds. • Find yourself instantly — Tap the locate button to center the map on your current location. • Search any place — Jump straight to an address or drop in coordinates (lat, lon) to explore land anywhere. • See the match — When you identify a species in the Field Guide, your photo now appears side by side with the reference image, so you can confirm the ID with your own eyes. Plus behind-the-scenes polish and stability improvements. Thanks for helping restore the planet, one parcel at a time.
