VanAlert App for Vanagon Owners...

[Steve M.]

This should be made into a Stickie topic!


I vote it for being the most valuable thread of 2017!

Pretty awesome Abel!
A couple of suggestions
Let's add functionality so folks can add legitimate water fill up locations (so we don't have to sneak a fill up from a gas station hose while they get mad at you)

Add cool free campsite locations that we can add to - when traveling to new locations it can sometimes be hard even with the gazetteer to find free forest service camping

Awesome ide Abel!

Just loaded it on my iPhone, looks pretty darn good. Thank you very much for putting this together.

Small enhancement suggestion:
On the bottom of the homepage I see two white dots.
I'm guessing this is to indicate that there are two different pages for the home page and that you need to swipe left to see the second page.
Usually in apps, one of the dots is shaded in to indicate that you were on page 1 and when you swipe, the 2nd dot gets shaded to show that you were on page 2.

I suggest adding dot shading to tell people what page they are on.

Or, to address it in a more major way, make all the icons smaller so you can fit all of them on a single homepage.

Anyway, minor quibble, and is more content gets added to this by all of us it will become quite helpful. Good job!

Looks good, now to add the Canadian content 😉

Also some spot telling us which member is serving the tastiest beer.

And where they hide their fridge.

Very cool and potentially very useful! Thanks for making this. Will it be possible to merge info from the venerable Vanagon Rescue Squad?
