TrailLens: Turn Every Walk Into a Nature Discovery

Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 1: Touch Grass Submission 🌿

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 1: Touch Grass.

What I Built

TrailLens is a nature-exploration web app designed to encourage people to go outdoors, capture interesting discoveries, and learn about the natural world.

Demo

Live app: https://traillens-db7u.onrender.com/

Code

GitHub: https://github.com/Nitu-Bathyal/traillens

How I Built It

Built using React, Vite, TypeScript, and FastAPI, with database support and an experimental TabPFN prediction component. The project is still evolving, and its AI identification capabilities need further validation.

Why Does Open Innovation Matter?

Open-source tools make it easier to learn, experiment, collaborate, and improve technology transparently. My goal is to make TrailLens a useful companion for outdoor curiosity and nature learning.

Prize Categories

No partner-specific prize category claimed at this stage.

Thanks for checking out TrailLens!
