Hi, this is awesome!

Hopefully useful feedback: when I saw that, I immediately thought "what are some nice hikes around where I live?" and even though the tagline is "Find beautiful hikes", the homepage doesn't suggest that I can find the answer here. Maybe that's not the point of hike.io, maybe there's another website that would help me better, I don't know.

Anyway, the big picture of the Narrows, which is one of the very few hikes I've done, inspired me to look for new trails around where I live. Thanks for that!

And good luck, I can't wait to see how hike.io will grow!



That's awesome that you got inspired by my picture. That hike is inspiring, probably my favorite of all time.

Thanks for the feedback too. I want to support finding nearby hikes in two ways:

1. If you go to the maps page, it should zoom you into your location and show you hikes nearby. That part works, but I also wish it zoomed out when no hikes are within your current viewport.

2. Also (and this part isn't done), I wish there was a way to filter the Discover images by location.

Feel free to add any of your local trails or update the Narrows.
