Love this idea, I'm such an outdoors person and always looking for new hikes. I find it really interesting that this is an open-source, Wiki kind of site... if the makers see this, how do you plan on keeping the entries high quality?
@cmrberry Really appreciate the kind words! Anyone can submit a change, but before it goes live for all users, it goes through a review process. Basically, I get an email and can either approve or reject the change. So that should keep the spam out, but keeping quality high is trickier because there is a lot that goes into it. Are the pictures high quality? Is the description written in an appropriate tone? Etc. Currently, to fix those sort of issues, I'm manually cleaning things up.
I think ideally it would be run like Wikipedia where there are guidelines on things should be done, and a team of moderators ensures high quality.
@levelsio Think the main thing that makes it feel snappy is Angular - navigating to another page just has to download the new resources it needs for that page (json + images). I also try to push as much content down the initial request as possible (I did a writeup of that here: https://medium.com/@_zaknelson/m...). And of course, the standard stuff - minifying source and images, gzip, cdn, caching, etc.
