This is the Angular 19 client app for the Birder website.
Birder is a social network-style platform for logging, sharing, and analysing bird observations. Ultimately, the aim is to feed the data to an algorithm which will help with species identification.
The complementary server respository is birder-server.

Step 2: start the fake API (click for details)
A fake birder-server REST API is provided using a json-server implementation. Start the fake server in the terminal with npm run api. It will start on http://localhost:3000. It will respond with fake data to enable users to sample the website.
npm run api
Step 3: serve the website (click for details)
After starting data server, open a second terminal window and type npm start to serve the website. Then access the website in the browser on http://localhost:4200.
npm start
Step 4: use the website (click for details)
The website will open at the login screen. Type a fake email address (e.g. '[email protected]') and a fake password and click the 'Login' button. The website will open the main home screen for logged in users, which is the 'observations feed'.
