1 x 👍 / 0 x 👎 = 1 Prio: 3 Show only list of canyons on the map: I want to filter the list of canyons and then show the filtered result on the map. Why: If I prepare a trip to an area I don't know - I want to quickly see all the canyons that are good for a first day canyon so e.g. Vertical under 3 Aquatic under 3 and Rope length max 40 m. With the filtered canyons on the map I don't have to check every one in the list where it is in regards to my campsite --> my preparation gets much faster. Daniel Sturm 01.08.2025 06:27:02 Slack Link
1 x 👍 / 0 x 👎 = 1 Prio: 3 Show Roles in Profile with a label not the technical name: Translation not necessary in my opionion but disyplay a label instead of logical name e.g. User, Admin, ACA-Group, Bachab-Group etc. Daniel Sturm 10.07.2025 05:02:47 Slack Link
1 x 👍 / 0 x 👎 = 1 Prio: 3 Add canyon pictures and/or more info to favorites list view Erik Weisz 27.06.2025 16:50:24 Slack Link
0 x 👍 / 0 x 👎 = 0 Prio: 3 I would like to change the navigation between canyon detail page and country/region and canyon-list. Right now when clicking on an region or country we navigate to /list with a filter set I would add a filter icon behind the country/region, so when you press the filter you will get to the /list with the filter set. If you klick on the name as now you directly jump to the according region/country page Max 22.06.2025 19:21:38 Slack Link
0 x 👍 / 0 x 👎 = 0 Prio: 3 Add a tab for topos, after map. Most users are looking for topos as part of the basic information for a canyon. Many aren’t aware that the topos are under Pictures. David Mason 20.06.2025 06:31:51 Slack Link
2 x 👍 / 0 x 👎 = 2 Prio: 4 Add a backend dashboard widget to show all your canyon edit activity within the last month • when was it • which canyon was it • what did you do as a summary (upload 3 pictures, added a topo, changed canyon, ...) • add a link to directly continue editing of the canyon • add link to changelog with filters set to see the details Max 22.06.2025 19:29:36 Slack Link
1 x 👍 / 0 x 👎 = 1 Prio: 4 Enhance canyon data errors with: • Canyons where descriptions and data is set but users forgot to set type from raw to full • Canyons where we have lots of info in reports but less so in descriptions Max 13.07.2025 19:42:00 Slack Link
1 x 👍 / 0 x 👎 = 1 Prio: 4 On backend canyon edit -> change history show also related changes linke weblinks, pictures, ... Max 08.07.2025 12:41:02 Slack Link
1 x 👍 / 0 x 👎 = 1 Prio: 4 Proposal/Idea ... We should add the option "IMPORTANT" to a canyon report, that will show the report in a sligtly highlighted color and make the report "for some time" sticky on top. We remove the sticky on top again if: • If there are 3 reports after it that are not important • If there are 2 reports after it that is also important • If the report is older than 3 months Max 04.07.2025 14:12:37 Slack Link
0 x 👍 / 0 x 👎 = 0 Prio: 4 Reports from Decente Canyoning are most likely in French, so Translation in doubt should be frensch as source lang Christian Balla 01.08.2025 05:42:29 Slack Link
0 x 👍 / 0 x 👎 = 0 Prio: 4 Import new Canyons from descente - create new canyons from descente. In the process: We should check how many there are new and at do a manual check whether we have canyons which are not linked yet - but exist in OC in DC. Daniel Sturm 30.07.2025 06:10:47 Slack Link

1 x 👍 / 0 x 👎 = 1 Prio: 5 Request from : mark the canyons I have a report for on the map - so I can see on the map which canyons I have done Max 08.07.2025 12:46:38 Slack Link
0 x 👍 / 0 x 👎 = 0 Prio: 5 Minor translation "issue" - when linking a new canyon part in english the button says "link canyon" which is nice. But everything else says "create" which is a little misleading - even though I get the point that we "create" a new link - we could stick to the same words here like "link" and "link & new" for the buttons and the text.

2 x 👍 / 0 x 👎 = 2 Prio: 6 :droplet: *Proposal: Make Water Level Images More Prominent* :round_pushpin: *Current Situation* Water level images are rarely uploaded and remain hidden in the regular gallery, despite being crucial for trip planning! The challenge: Everyone assesses water levels differently based on their personal experience and preferences. :bulb: *Proposed Solution* *1. Increase Visibility* • Remove water level images from the regular gallery • Create dedicated "Water Levels" category (not in Media, in Canyon-View) • Or place prominently in canyon overview/description section *2. Community Rating System* • All registered users can rate water levels (scale 1-10) • Average rating calculated automatically • *The key feature:* Individual ratings remain visible! :dart: *Why This Works* If I see that "Jane Doe" (who I know dislikes high water) rates it 8/10, that tells me more than an unknown "WhiteWater-Expert" rating it 4/10. Everyone can interpret ratings in the context of who's doing the rating! *What do you think?* :thinking_face: Urs 05.08.2025 17:58:55 Slack Link
2 x 👍 / 0 x 👎 = 2 Prio: 6 Integration of the catchment area calculation I tested the calc provided by following Web Page, it is not correct for all Canyons, but a very good idea - maybe it can be integrated somehow ... Christian Balla 04.08.2025 20:22:45 Slack Link
0 x 👍 / 0 x 👎 = 0 Prio: 6 Create Warning for a whole region - currently we have two cases where it would be very practical to be able to connect a warning with a region and display it at every canyon of the region (it should be visible that the displayed warning is from the region not from the canyon) Examples right now: a) Hordes of spaniards in the ticino region who are not very sensitive with the locals b) General Reglementations in a region. E.g. Veneto region where Canyoning in the Belluno National Park is strictly forbidden and patrols are in place right now. c) Massive Thunderstorm and landslide in a valley - e.g. Maggia Valley in 2024. In the list of the regions a new column would be nice which states "Warning Active" so i can see whether I should have a closer look if I go there. Daniel Sturm 15.08.2025 05:18:42 Slack Link
