Why do we make websites like killi.es and encycloquaria.com?
Because its an example of what the Internet can do. Staying true to the original intentions of the internet. Science. Any kind of science. It could be the greatest and widespread scientific tool, if you let it. Having a website that is a catalogue of fishes, or plants, is a tool.
Another main intention of the internet: no ads. No monetizing. At least not in the way of the user, ever. No pop ups, no videos, clickbait. They just get in the way of science and usability of a tool like website.
A main intention: tools shouldn't be paywalled. You have to pay just to read scientific research. Keeping knowledge from users is not a way to further research. Our websites are free and open to all. This encourages people to use our websites like a resource for images and information.
It's more than a website, its a tool.
The net as a tool, accessible to all, all can add to it.
So far, our websites are largely based with species conservation in mind. A big part of doing that is identifying species, whether its plant, or a freshwater fish . This helps preserve biotopes.

There's a lot of parsing. Parsing urls. User-submitted data. Image filenames. Because you cant write "/" in c that easily. So any url is going to have to be parsed.
