Whoops, super overdue for an update!
Winter was slow for us, everyone took a break from the proj for family, work, and other things. We're back on track, though. Here's the latest:
Ramsel finished development on the "gather" app! This'll be the mechanism for collecting data and pics in the field and will tie into the full version of SuperBeta once the database is finalized. Here's a quick look at the UI...
The full iOS version of SuperBeta is still under development, although Bill's done a lot to complete the menu structure and layers of info screens already!
James, Liz, and Ramsel just got back from an epic trip to Red Rocks. I visited Bishop for the first time ever this weekend (see above for my reaction shot) and climbed a bit in the Philippines last month (holy shit DWS is terrifying). Planning a few more trips this year: Red Rocks, Utah (#crackaddict), Yosemite, Bishop (!!!), and hopefully Hawaii again.
Thoughts: after visiting Bishop and documenting maybe 1% of Happy Boulders, thinking about the sheer amount of data needed for SuperBeta has me a little worried. Long term, we want the majority to be user-generated content. However, to get there, we need content to start with and to make SuperBeta worthwhile. I really want to figure out a good method of collaborating with area developers and guide book authors. #todolist
Have you seen Boulder Problems? Amazing web app and looks like it has some great potential. The data visualization in your profile is super fun to see. This is def what we want to offer with SuperBeta, too. Wondering if we can plan out a collaboration with Zac, the dev behind the scenes on BP...
Last thought for now. SuperBeta. We go back and forth on the name, largely because of Joe Thiesmann's monopoly on the prostate medicine that is similarly named... Nothing else sticks quite right with me though. Any ideas, out there?
