Hi Everyone
For the last few weeks I've been off and on working on a new website. It started out as something I could talk about in Interviews, but as I got more feedback from friends, it got more and more added on.
Originally it was just to mark climbing area's in Ireland, but once I had the code for that I figured why not make it for the whole world.
The original thought was something along the lines of "Imagine you're visiting the in laws or relatives, and wanted to find out if there were any boulders within a 10 minute drive of where you are"
Then I got loads of other suggestions. Like when how we were climbing in Albacarrin (Spain) and spent a while looking for the local bakery. People were walking by us with fresh bread, and we couldn't find where it was coming from (It's marked on the map now btw)
Wouldn't it be handy if climbers could mark places to hang out after climbing, places to get good food or even places to avoid.
Anyway, after a few weeks of coding, here's my site:
http://www.wherestheclimbing.com/
There's a User Guide section, but it's all build to be pretty intuitive (I hope)
http://www.wherestheclimbing.com/Home/UserGuide
We have Ireland pretty well covered, but if some of you reading this, could add your local climbing gym / outdoors spot. It'd make the site even better / more useful.
One last thing, I haven't put in any code restricting user access, so there's nothing stopping trolls replacing names with cuss words
or moving the map markers into a giant pair of boobs or something.
I do take backups of the database, and if this happens I'll do a restore and consider limits on how much each user can add / edit in a day.
Any feedback / suggestions on the site would be great.
Thanks for reading
Mikey
