What's new

Changes to the site, newest first. Still being built.

Patch 0.14

Patch 0.13

New feature

  • Share
    • Share button on every hill. Opens your phone's share menu, or copies the link on a computer
    • Each hill has its own link preview picture now: name, town and steepness

Improved

Patch 0.12

New feature

  • Hill pages
    • Every hill has its own page now, like sledding.me/hills/eastern-promenade
    • "Hills by town" page, linked in the footer

  • Easier to find in search, page titles name the towns

Patch 0.11

New feature

  • Use my location to sort by distance, no ZIP needed. Only when you tap it, never saved

Improved

  • Steepness tags are color coded now, and the hill icons lose the colored square
  • Hills with no steepness grade ask for one: "Needs a grade" on the list, "Suggest a grade" on the hill page

Fixed

  • Directions now open the park by name, so a few hills route to a slightly different spot than before
  • Some pins moved onto their park
  • Added a simple visitor counter (no cookies, no personal info)
