I've been working on updating the Friend or Foe site, and I'm looking to get some feedback.
If there are things you like and want to keep or things you don't like and would like to see changed, here's the place to put it.
I've got a lot of the new design done and now need to incorporate any functional changes in the update plan. I want to get all the requested changes in one spot so I can see what is most popular, etc.
On the slate besides an updated look are the following changes:
The ability to sign in and manage / modify your additions to the map.
Retain the ability to add anonymously (there will be greater weight given to signed-in member additions).
Allow some statistical research (there are over 3,000 ratings now)
Display all places on the map, no radius search limitations (I'll need some performance testing here, but plays nice so far with over 3k markers.)
Addition of marker types for searching/filtering.
Addition of marker metadata for further research/analysis.
Flagging of suspicious/erroneous markers for review.
Improved mobile device access and extras such as auto-centering the map via GPS and a "follow me" function that will keep the map centered at your location (for scanning while driving, etc).
There are others, but those are the big points.
I don't have an ETA on the updated version release, but it is coming along nicely, so hopefully it won't take too much longer. It really depends on my other work load.
As always, thanks for making the site what it is. Without your input it wouldn't be nearly as useful.
Here are a couple screen shots of the new look, and you can see some of the marker grouping functionality, etc. Click for full size.
