Could you build this?
Partial The app UI and offline storage are standard, but accurate species identification and jurisdiction-specific size and season rules need a trained model and a curated regulations database that a solo builder can't easily produce.
What it would actually take: Ship an on-device image classifier for fish species, using a pretrained vision model fine-tuned on labeled fish photos, with offline caching and a local database. Measurement and weight estimation from a photo need calibration or reference-object logic. The hardest part is a maintained, accurate catalog of local fishing regulations by region, which requires working with fisheries agencies or licensed data and ongoing updates.
