Hot take - corporations should provide demo access to their portals so that we can see the quality of their UX before choosing a bank, lender, credit card, etc.

Clicking on items reveal hidden containers with the details of different types of entertainment. There are several URL actions linking out of the tool to learn more about the media revealed.
My favorite build was for Birding. I attempted to recreated the experience of birding in a chart. As you interact with the dots, you'll see a lot of recurring characters. The less frequent observations stand out against the common birds in my area.
ALT text: I started birdwatching in 2024, and have observed 92 species so far! Most of these outings were in the KC metro area. I managed to get out and see some birds on work trips to Florida and California as well.
If you're interested in birding and data, I took Binoculars to Binomials this spring and enjoyed it!
