Label observations as first of its taxon posted to iNaturalist

People would like to see if an observation is the first one of that taxon posted to iNaturalist. We discussed this in the 1/18/24 Web Circle meeting and decided to go ahead with an issue, but there'll have to be some hashing things out and design work.

• On obs detail page, display a label that says "First on iNaturalist" if the observation represents the first observation of that taxon posted to iNaturalist, based on the observation's posted-on date and observation taxon. This should be fetched dynamically.
• Clicking on the label should show a pop-up similar to establishment means and conservation status that says "This is the first known observation of this taxon posted to iNaturalist."
• @abhasinat can you provide some design input re: label and placement?

Here's a first stab at critera we should use:

• observation should be verifiable. RG might incentivize people to add unwarranted agreeing IDs
• I think we should only go as high as genus at the start, but am open to going up to subfamily, since that's the maximum cutoff for RG

Here's a design for the button:

And here's what placement should look like. I would place it after status and before quality grade:

We already use a star and that green color for the endemic label, and I bet a decent number of these observatiosn will also be of endemic species.

I can't think of great alternatives at the moment. Would a checkmark work? A leaf?

Good point. How about a bookmark label?

And maybe inverted as well for some contrast.
