taxon: compact view of taxonomy tree #126

Closed synrg closed 3 years ago

synrg commented 4 years ago

Riviera asked on iNaturalist Discord if the taxonomy tree could be more compactly represented. We knocked back and forth a few ideas and came up with a proposal to start at iconic taxa, then show under that Order > Family > Genus. And provide a reaction button to toggle between that view (default) and the full taxonomic tree view.

To do this reasonably well would require at least short-term caching of results and/or cooldowns, since the taxon record would be refetched to add back any info that was removed in the simplified view.

A simpler solution was delivered: either show the whole tree or don't, toggled with the :regional_indicator_t: reaction button.
