Very much learning as I go here and don't want to waste effort adding features that no one is interested in.   Now that the basic site seems to be up and working, below are some of the things thatI had considered adding and would love some feedback on what is or isn't of interest.

I dont know what it would involve but I think that it would be neat to have an event calendar that, if someone is thinking about going hiking or backpacking and they want to put it out there in case someone else wanted to go they could.

I know that this site is new, so this isn't meant as a complaint, but the appearance is kind of drab at the moment.  I think some graphics and a photo gallery would spruce things up a bit.

@rob6@rob6 I definitely agree it's not as athletically pleasing (yet)  as the other site but my focus was functionality and usability / ease of use first.   That seemed to be the biggest barrier to entry for the groups.io thing.   Stick around and spread the word and definitely keep the feedback coming.   Also,  any help is welcome and appreciated if you see somewhere you'd be comfortable jumping in 🙂

 

@rob6 hey man, made some asthetic changes 🙂

NICE!!!  And please don't think I was complaining or criticizing.  I applaud your efforts and plan to follow and contribute as much as I can.  This is a great start!

One additional feature I thought of, after seeing that you're looking for your email list, is a way to connect to users "privately" outside the public forum.  It may already exist and I just haven't found it....

@rob6 absolutely no offense taken, I appreciate the feedback.  I had been tinkering with different themes but didn't want to spend too  much time until I discovered if people would use the site or not.  When we got several folks sign up the first day, I figured that a theme may be a good next step 🙂

As far as connecting with others privately, I don't know how to do that (yet) but it's definitely something that I can look into and see if I can add it.
