Nature impact of the cache #1050

Open ghost opened 5 years ago

ghost commented 5 years ago

If I am suggesting too much or too fast, I'm sorry, just ignore it for a week :)

As a cache owner it would be nice to know what is the nature impact (or buildings or whatever) of cache.

It would be helpful to see a little cache statistic like cacher per day/week/month and the peek of cachers per day/week/month. Imho it makes more sense than showing who has the bigger found count ;-)

It makes a difference if there are 10 persons a month or a day. So it could happen that the cache will be visited by more cachers than expected. As an owner I could react to an over-visiting and move the cache, make it bigger, give (more/better) hints and so on.

Cheers Jago

This sounds like a cool feature, but we need to clarify what you want exactly.

  1. Should this be visible for every cache listing, or just for your own caches?
  2. Should this be visible on listing page directly or something like "press a button and then open a separate window/overlay"? (be aware, that calculating this statistics can be time consuming on caches with many finds)
  3. What statistics exactly do you need?
  4. Where should it be visible?
  5. Should it be a graph or just "numbers"?

Maybe you can "draw" a little mockup to show what you want.

  1. I would display it in every cache listing but because it takes some time for calculating it should be an opt-in in the config. As a sub-checkbox one could also display "only for my caches" or "for all caches". (It depends on which default would make more sense.)

  2. After opt-in in the config it should be directly visible

  3. At the moment I only think of cachers per day/week/month (average/peek). I am not the most creative guy ;)

  4. On top, below the title, for example

  5. I think numbers are enough

Here an example. Please excuse my poor layout skills

Ok, I'll try to build a prototype. But I think this will take some time, and I have other things on gclh that need my attention first.
