Prototype 0.0.4
After Prototype 3, the project took a significant turn as I began to focus more on the user interface (UI) rather than further modifications to the Python file or the backend. While the core bird song identification was mostly stable by this point, the interface needed to be more user-friendly and visually appealing.
I began working on a WinForms UI, aiming to provide a cleaner and more intuitive experience for users. The UI became a crucial part of the development process, as I wanted to make the tool accessible and easy to navigate, especially as I prepared for potential future updates.
At this stage, I wasn’t making any major changes to the Python code or experimenting much with the bird identification model. The focus shifted entirely to improving the user interface, allowing users to more easily load audio files, review the data, and navigate through the tool. While the system still relied on Excel for data storage, I started looking toward integrating more advanced storage options in future iterations.
