Help Improve BirdNET-Go

I am seeking web developer with experience in Go HTML templating, Tailwind CSS, HTMX, Alpine.js, or similar frameworks to join in enhancing the BirdNET-Go application web UI. Your expertise can make a real difference in how users engage with this app and connect with birdlife. If you have the skills and a keen interest in contributing to a nature-focused project, I'd love to hear from you.
