What is PiouPiouDex ?
PiouPiouDex is above all a platform created by a husband for his wife. We are both wild-life and photography enthusiast !
The aim of this platform is simply to allow you to "collect" species and create incentive to adventure.
Please be mindful of the wild life. Having a good collection is nice but respecting the living is even better.
What are the rules ?
- There is nothing to win, everyone can have their own rules on what "seen" means:
- Easy: any encounter
- Normal: anything but zoos
- Hard: only wild life when the specie can be wild
- Non-respectful photos can be deleted at any time by admin (and account blocked), respect others and the wildlife security.
- Do not use IA generated pictures, the whole aim of this platform is to create incentive to go outside and explore.
- Do not use the same picture for different categories, no cheating !
- PiouPiouDex should only store your animals picture.
Why the name PiouPiouDex ?
We started ou collection of species by the birds and we are French. "Piou" is the sounds we assimilate to chicks and Dex is for "Index".
Any improvement expected ?
Improvement might happen depending on the number of users (and potentially their needs).
Things that could be in the pipeline:
- Currently, we only have Birds species indexed, the rest will follow
- Having a possibility to ask the community the specie of a photo (that would mean having a big community first)
- Request new families (that would need to be accepted by admin)
- More gamification through badges
- Friend system (allowing you to quickly see the profile of your friends and their overviews)
- Publicity / premium if we need to increase the storage or some people are interested in having high quality photo storage

Special Thanks
I used the species from eBird (Cornell database) (that I highly recommend for Bird Watchers).
Nearly all the icons are from Flaticon artists such as this pack and the logo comes from
this icon
Other information
I purposely remove all the EXIF (meta-data) from the photos for safety reasons (to not allow people to locate you or endangered animals if you have the GPS data for example).
I do not take any responsibility for your photos, please save it elsewhere, there might be some issues during the development.
