MTBGuru blog

While we were brainstorming and developing MTBGuru we came up with a seemingly endless list of possible features - most of which we subsequently either dumped or put on a waiting list; because we have only a finite amount of time and because we wanted to avoid at all cost having the site look bloated and suffer from ‘featuritis’. Hence the epicenter design approach: focus on the core purpose of the site and move up from there.

Now that we got the core working, it is time to add more functionality. We’re currently working on a better interface for searching and browsing the global trip collection, as well as a ‘friends’ feature, through which you can share your trips and photos with friends, without having the data necessarily fully public. Also on our wish list are integration of Picasa Online and Flickr photo collections, an uploader utility and a number of other ideas.

But we’d like to hear what our users think - which features do you need? What do you think is lacking? Please send your suggestions to mtbguru@mtbguru.com or leave them in the comments below.
