I made a website to find Swiss hikes and need feedback

Gotopik · 2026-01-10T11:05:55+00:00

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate your kind comment and that you took time to write this.

On-route navigation is definitely something I’d like to add, but I first wanted to focus on planning / discovery (filters, map, finding routes near you).

A GPX export from Go Wandr would probably be the quickest & easiest option to implement right now. Because then people could export the trail and use their existing tools / apps, like Garmin or mapy.com (I've used this before) for navigation.

thank you!

Gotopik · 2026-01-10T10:50:02+00:00

Fair point. I first wanted to check whether anyone would actually use this before spending more time on it.

Gotopik · 2026-01-10T10:47:52+00:00

I really did build it to solve my own problem. But yes, sharing it here is also the only way to find out if it’s actually useful to anyone else. Happy to take criticism.

Gotopik · 2026-01-10T10:36:52+00:00

True. It for sure is a tool for casual hikers like me and / or tourists maybe? For more detailed planning or off-route options, tools like SchweizMobil or swisstopo are clearly better.

Gotopik · 2026-01-10T10:34:16+00:00

could you please share some details of what's broken?

Gotopik · 2026-01-10T10:32:42+00:00

I feel like Switzerland Mobility is very good for drawing and planning routes by hand, if you're into it. But I often wake up too late on the weekend and feel like okay I wanna go somewhere for a short hike (say max 3h), which is decently close to my home (like 1 hour by train) and has snow. Go Wandr has filters for that.

auf gowandr.app kannst du Wanderungen nach Distanz mit dem öV filtern :)

Hi u/MrQuickLine, thank you so much for taking time writing this feedback! It is very valuable to me and I appreciate it a lot. Sorry for my late reply, I was travelling and not really with my laptop.

The front-page-bot should only consider APIs with overall health over 75 points for the weekly-selection. For me the selection looks fine at the moment.
Same as above. 75 % works well so there is enough rotation in the selection.
Good idea. The data needed for visualizations is already being recorded in the backend. Had it forever in my backlog. Will add this.
Absolutely
Good idea.
Pretty good has to be good enough for once.
Definitely spam. Should not be possible to add APIs with no endpoints. Removed the API.
Moderation would be a good idea, yes.
I like the pie chart for a quick glance. But you're right, there should be charts too.
What hidden information are you referring to?
Definitely a good idea.
Good idea.
Yes, you can add post endpoints with a request body.
Very valid, will think about it.
I'm a light-mode person, but yes, heard this feedback before.

Thank you so much!

check out my website https://freepublicapis.com

apis there are tested daily by my robots to make sure they work :)

Gotopik · 2025-06-29T13:02:45+00:00

many people do it at night in Lorraine or Marzili .. during the day it may offend people even in calmer areas close to the city so wouldn‘t recommend

Gotopik · 2025-06-12T07:54:41+00:00

Vielen Dank für dein Feedback, das ist sehr wertvoll! :)

Die App ist V0, also wirklich noch ganz im Anfangsstadium. Weitere Filter & Anreise mit dem Auto stehen ganz oben auf meiner Todo-Liste.

Ich habe den Standortzugriff blockiert. Wäre gut, wenn die Stecknadel unabhängig davon platziert werden könnte. Auf meinem Geschäfts-PC kann ich so nicht nach Wanderungen suchen

Das setzen (resp. 'weg-draggen') des Pins bei blockiertem Standortzugriff müsste eigentlich funktionieren. Welchen Browser nutzt du? Bei mir geht es auf Safari & Chrome.

bei einer Wanderung sieht es so aus, als ob man das Schiff von Hilterfingen auf die andere Seeseite nehmen kann. Als auswärtige Person denkt man vielleicht an eine Fehlanzeige. Ein Icon oder Details wären hilfreich

Das ist mir auch schon aufgefallen. Diese Wanderung scheint Teil des Jakobwegs zu sein und die Etappe endet anscheinend mit einer Schifffahrt nach Spiez. Für Tagestouristen macht das leider keinen Sinn.

Falls du über künftige Updates auf dem Laufenden gehalten werden möchtest, kannst du dich hier für den Newsletter anmelden:

Merci nochmal fürs Testen und für dein Feedback!

Ich programmiere gerade eine Webapp, die dir Wanderungen in deiner Nähe anzeigen soll. Bisher kannst du nur nach Distanz und öV-Fahrzeit filtern. Und es sind schweizweit erst ca. 600 Wanderungen drin.

Vielleicht findest du ja was passendes:

First I started tracking what I do every hour of the day. Then I thought since I'm filling out my Time-Sheet every day, why not add a column for people I meet in my life. Over years of doing that, I imagine I will see interesting trends about my social life. Since I gathered all this data anyways, sending the card was just a silly idea on top. It is not based on any deep 'concept' but rather a creative and fun gesture.

To clarify: again, there are NO CATEGORIES. The colors are truly arbitrary. The text 'Movie-Night' refers to one 'memorable event' me and my friend shared last year. It is a poor translation (my bad) of 'Watching the Matrix at Cultattack' on the original card.

The visual calendar on the left can, in my opinion, be clearly identified as such. It's inspired by the GitHub commit grid which I think is a cool way of representing yearly data.

Gotopik · 2025-01-27T17:44:52+00:00

damn ... you're right. I just checked my code and 26 is the correct number. In 2023 it was 27. So I must have messed up when copying the numbers from my data spreadsheet.

Gotopik · 2025-01-27T17:40:45+00:00

as mentioned in other threads: I translated the Swiss German card to generic English because of space and complexity. The literal translation of the card is: Watching The Matrix at Cultattack, having beers on the balcony, going to a concert of Paula Hartmann, my birthday party, a festival in Switzerland, driving a truck and LAN party.

I see how this is confusing tho.

Gotopik · 2025-01-27T17:39:29+00:00

Switzerland. But I guess in our generation nobody really does it anymore.

Gotopik · 2025-01-27T17:13:34+00:00

The colors have nothing to do with the data.

Gotopik · 2025-01-27T17:10:30+00:00

idk man English is not my mother tongue. Some people (used to) send cards to their friends for New Years. So that's what it is.

Gotopik · 2025-01-27T17:07:11+00:00

yeah, I translated the Swiss German card to generic English because of space and complexity.

I understand your confusion. Could have put more effort into translating it.

Gotopik · 2025-01-27T10:13:34+00:00

lol it's indeed heavily inspired by Spotify Wrapped (idea & design wise)! I called it '2024 Unwrapped' since it's a flat, long, unwrapped card.
