Idea: Shared route folder
Quote from sdk on 02.04.2024, 23:42Hello,
I have a scenic account and my wife has one too. It's always a tedious process to share routes and resharing them after adjustments have been made. Right now, I know two options:
- by using the share option, send the url to her, she adds the route using "add to scenic".
- I set the route to public, she looks up public routes in this area and filters by my username. Then adds it.
What would be a really nice addition would be a shared folder. Like I imagine to copy the url to a route folder, send it to riding buddies and then they can add this folder to their scenic. Routes in that folder can be edited only by the owner. (maybe later with an option so everyone can edit routes in there, but being a developer myself, I don't want you have to fix sync issues.)
Alternative Idea: Allow to "subscribe" to all public routes of a username. Then this username would become a folder that contains all public route of this user. That's less flexible, but sounds easier to implement. And it would do the job.
Best Regards,
Stefan

Thanks for the suggestion. I've had some similar ideas, but have not had the time to really sit down and think it through. Once I do, I will keep your suggestions in mind too.
Thank you and best regards,
Guido

We are really trying to encourage our national car club to adopt Scenic, and the logistic of sharing route updates is tough when it's 50+ people at a time. My preference for functionality would be a shared folder that is only editable by the owner, and is refreshable by people who have added it, and optionally I guess a user could choose to copy the route into their account, which would be basically the functionality that exists now.

If you share a route using the share link (and then send that link it to all members of your car club etc), the route is still editable by the owner. Every edit will be propagated to everyone who added that route to his/her account. So, basically this works like you would like it to.
The only thing that's missing is to share an entire folder with a group of users at once.

Oh, I missed this reply. That's amazing. I didn't know this. Sharing a folder would still be cool though. 🙂 But much less needed now (for me).
