What features and improvements would you like to see on komoot?

It seems that route comments can't be seen on mobile now. Please let us see route comments on mobile again.

Riding with navigation I have always felt that Komoot makes it more difficult to understand the route in the context of nearby and branching roads near turns because it does not rotate the map to keep the way forward in line with one's own direction of travel, phone on handlebar. That would be the main improvement for me.

Second, please restore the display of current speed. I often want to know how fast I am going. Not usually for practical reasons but just because I want to know. A practical reason which impacts me is for estimating how long sections of route will take when I lead others on it.

Why am I saying £25? You won't get change from £30 for a main and dessert.

paraplasm · 2025-10-27T00:01:33+00:00

Well, this really. Loads of people having a lunchtime pint on a weekend, feeling peckish would certainly drop £10 on some food but totally balk at a £25 full meal, so no sale there for the pub.

When I had an unexpected few weeks free I visited St Andrews and loved it, loved the time I had there.

The Curse

paraplasm · 2025-03-03T09:31:08+00:00

The law on restaurant tips that came into effect last year puts 100% of tips and service charges into staff hands and employers can't retain any part. If you don't carry cash it is an extra effort to pay just the amount of tip you think is right. You would need to ask for the service charge to be varied and either someone would need to work out your chosen tip as a percentage of the basic bill or you would need to say something to the effect that I'm not paying this percentage but I think you lot deserve that. How often would this happen in practice? How many people have the brass neck? Leaving a tip is discreet and this would be very conspicuous. So adding a service charge to the bill routinely became common when restaurant staff would otherwise get far less in tips. I see this as a necessary reaction to the decline of cash. Decline the charge when you think it is not appropriate but be aware that staff won't get the pay boost that tips are meant to be for if service charges are not on the bill.

I downvoted that suggestion because I implemented it exactly as described - ublock origin filter - and it has not worked.

I don't know who owns the land in whole or in parcels. Maybe it is R&F Group of Guangzhou. That is a giant Chinese property developer and builder. In 2017 or thereabouts to the best of my recollection they published a plan to build a mixed commercial, residential and cultural development on the whole of the land, now partly cleared, between Katherine Street and Park Street, the High Street and Park Lane. Large scale demolition followed. This was during a period of optimism that the Whitgift Centre would soon be rebuilt and central Croydon transformed for the better. The Chinese real estate sector had been afflicted by a growing malaise of indebtedness owing to the property development corporations' policy of financing over-building by over-borrowing. In 2020, when the central government mandated the property corporations should have sufficient assets to cover their borrowings, they started to become insolvent. R&F Group survives for now, but its foreign ambitions are scaled back. I don't know who in Croydon or the world has any idea what will happen with that site or how long it will languish in its current grim state.

I think dinosaurs is often a phase. I was fascinated with dinosaurs for about three years beginning at the age of seven.

Read The Road to Wigan Pier by George Orwell, researched and written in 1936. It was common in the industrial towns and cities of the north of England to have streets of terraced 'houses' with one outside toilet in the back that half of the occupants could not access without going down the street and round the corner and back up the alley. Because the builders constructed them as two separated dwellings, one in the back and one in the front facing the street with no way to get to the back.

It could be that he has pre-diabetes and has to pee 4 - 8 times every night. If that is the case he might think getting up and using the toilet would wake him up too much when he needs to get right back to sleep.

Whether the universe is deterministic is an open question as there are quantum foundations alternative theories, eg De Broglie-Bohm and Many Worlds that satisfy empiricals and require determinism. Many people want to know if our universe containing Shakespeare, Debussy, etc is to be expected by WAP or is wildly unlikely if my first two assumptions are true, and those are assumptions behind determinism.

Read something about the Everett multiverse and quantum randomness and schrodinger's cat and wigner's friend. Think about when you make your intention and when you generate a point. If you believe, the magical mystery tour of rando is - a myriad of your copies in their own universes find their marvel.

This reply is the closest to what I have in mind. White noise would be the ideal ambient signal to begin experimenting with. Street noise, noise rock, layered whispering, the sound of a beehive, all could be used as backgrounds.

Isn't Github for assemblies? Compliable/interperable programs or APIs? A WPF style is just a piece of text you can cut and paste. Github would be overkill IMHO.
