List of animal intakes with images
What problem are we trying to solve?
There's an awesome dataset with animal center intakes. Unfortunately, it doesn't have pictures. Its also hard to filter.
The solution: make a UI that shows pictures of the animals/pets and lets you filter.
:cat2: Here's a start: http://luqmaan.com/pet-search :cat2:
Repo here: https://github.com/luqmaan/pet-search
Who will benefit (directly and indirectly) from this project?
People who lost their pet. People who want to look at pictures of cats.
Links to any research/data available/articles
- The dataset: https://data.austintexas.gov/Health/Austin-Animal-Center-Intakes/wter-evkm
- Pet Finder: A similar, fancier app that would scrape and setup searches/email you when a pet matches the search https://github.com/open-austin/pet-finder
- Related project idea: Build data visualizations for Austin Animal Services!
What are the next steps (validation, research, coding, design)?
Coding
What help is needed at this time?
Feedback on the problem. Have you lost a pet and tried to search for it using the internet? What tools did you use? Were you able to find your pet?
Feedback on the user interface.
When putting images on the web please make sure they are accessible for people with disabilities. https://www.ada.gov/pcatoolkit/chap5toolkit.htm
Below I have included two emails, one concerning Websites and the other for Accessible Presentations that has good information to teach people how to make things accessible.
Kind Regards, John Woodley Advocate for Disability Access

Office of the Governor - Greg Abbott
Committee on People with Disabilities
The Web Accessibility Initiative has free tutorials on a variety of web accessibility subjects. These tutorials ( http://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/ http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTUwMjAyLjQxMDMwMjIxJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE1MDIwMi40MTAzMDIyMSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3MzcyNzQ2JmVtYWlsaWQ9am9obm13b29kbGV5QGdtYWlsLmNvbSZ1c2VyaWQ9am9obm13b29kbGV5QGdtYWlsLmNvbSZmbD0mZXh0cmE9TXVsdGl2YXJpYXRlSWQ9JiYm&&&100&&&http://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/ ) show you how to develop web content that is accessible to people with disabilities and that provides a better user experience for everyone.
They provide resources for a variety of roles, including:
- Web developers will find guidance and boilerplate solutions for many common coding challenges.
- Web designers will learn how to create web page components with built-in accessible and inclusive design practice.
- Web trainers will find examples to teach people about accessible web design and development.
- Content authors will learn concepts and techniques for preparing their content in an accessible way.
- Project managers will gain an understanding of ways to integrate accessibility into their project planning.
The tutorials cover various accessibility topics, based on common tasks in web projects. For example, they show you how to provide accessible images and tables using a variety of web technologies, including HTML4, HTML5, CSS3, WAI-ARIA, MathML, and SVG. The concepts and techniques explained in the tutorials apply to other formats as well. Web authoring tools (Content Management Systems (CMS), WYSIWYG editors, word processors, etc.) can often help you create content that is accessible as shown in these tutorials.

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Office of the Governor [email protected] Date: Tue, Aug 19, 2014 at 9:47 AM Subject: Accessible Presentations for Everyone To: [email protected]
Office of the Governor Rick Perry
Committee on People with Disabilities
Make your presentations, talks, meetings, and training accessible to all of your potential audience, including people with disabilities and others. Inclusive presentations have many benefits http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTQwODE5LjM1MTUyNDUxJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE0MDgxOS4zNTE1MjQ1MSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3MTYyMjY4JmVtYWlsaWQ9am9obm13b29kbGV5QGdtYWlsLmNvbSZ1c2VyaWQ9am9obm13b29kbGV5QGdtYWlsLmNvbSZmbD0mZXh0cmE9TXVsdGl2YXJpYXRlSWQ9JiYm&&&100&&&http://www.w3.org/WAI/training/accessible.php#benefits .
Presentations that are accessible to people with disabilities are inclusive to many more audiences as well, including people who are not fluent in the language and people with different learning styles.
Accessible presentations also have additional benefits, such as in these situations:
- Consider a live presentation with visuals that is recorded and made available online as an audio podcast. If during the presentation you described the visuals (for people who are blind or otherwise cannot see them well), then those listening to the podcast will also get the visual information.
- CART http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTQwODE5LjM1MTUyNDUxJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE0MDgxOS4zNTE1MjQ1MSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3MTYyMjY4JmVtYWlsaWQ9am9obm13b29kbGV5QGdtYWlsLmNvbSZ1c2VyaWQ9am9obm13b29kbGV5QGdtYWlsLmNvbSZmbD0mZXh0cmE9TXVsdGl2YXJpYXRlSWQ9JiYm&&&101&&&http://www.w3.org/WAI/training/accessible.php#cart provides real-time text of the speaker and other audio. CART is used by people who are deaf or hard of hearing, people who can understand text better than spoken language — including people whose native language is different, and others. CART output can also be used to develop a transcript.
- Transcripts can be put online to increase search engine optimization (SEO) and realize the other benefits of transcripts http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTQwODE5LjM1MTUyNDUxJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE0MDgxOS4zNTE1MjQ1MSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3MTYyMjY4JmVtYWlsaWQ9am9obm13b29kbGV5QGdtYWlsLmNvbSZ1c2VyaWQ9am9obm13b29kbGV5QGdtYWlsLmNvbSZmbD0mZXh0cmE9TXVsdGl2YXJpYXRlSWQ9JiYm&&&102&&&http://www.uiaccess.com/transcripts/transcripts_on_the_web.html

Love what you are trying to do here! I would like to expand to Williamson County and beyond. Where are you getting the images for the found pets in Austin?
