Searching for Great Climbing
May 20th, 2008 by Matt
I have just finished pushing the latest and greatest version of Bouldr out onto our server, which includes a major reworking of the explorer, among other things. Take a look, and let me know what you think. We have set up a four-question survey here for your feedback.
New Features
- Search from the Explorer
We have changed the explorer to include a search box in the top-right of the screen. From there, you can search for a particular crag or climb, and the explorer will zoom to your chosen result.
- Location Search
The new search feature also includes a location search, meaning that you can make the explorer center on various towns, cities, and regions all around the world.
- Larger Images on the Explorer
The old explorer would only give you small thumbnails of the climb you were looking at. After a little reorganisation, we have increased the size of the climb images, and added more information to the climb display on the explorer.
- Bigger server
Our old server was beginning to feel the strain, so we have now upgraded, and doubled our capacity, meaning faster page loads and (hopefully) a better experience for all.
