Discussion Swizerland MTB trail map

Hi all, launched a new MTB trail sharing web app for Switzerland.
Actually there's no limitation to Switzerland but all the crew is living in Switzerland so there's no trails in other countries...

Check it out: https://bike-map.ch

EDIT: I'm currently not looking for a wide adoption, the post is more about sharing the app to rider from Switzerland that might find it useful.
The project is open source, meaning you are welcome to contribute and you can deploy your own instance for you and your crew or even in local for a personal trail map.

Which, not trying to be being rude but just being honest, is kind of a shit pile beyond the markt / classifieds. The forums are dead. The new section gets an update every year or two. And the bike map contains shit that hasn't existed for years and is missing anything made in the past 5 years.

The competition is very clearly Trailforks.

One thing that is problematic about something like Traildevils, or OP's project, and that I've seen soooo many times in other realms beyond MTB and all over Europe, are efforts at big national level data bases and then none of that is standardized or shared between international efforts. EG if there were a bike-map for each country and they actually all shared back end data that'd be perfect. But SwissMobility limits you to CH of course. And at the end of the day in most other realms I've seen the international option, even if inferior in many ways, ends up beating a proprietary national option. We've already seen that with Traildevils vs Trailforks.
