Hi all,
I've always had a caving trip log on my website which I used to update manually from a spreadsheet, which was quite cumbersome. In answer to this, I've spent the last month or so developing a website which streamlines and automates this process. I've finally got a workable version, and I've called it caves.app. You can see an example of what it produces by viewing my public profile on there: https://caves.app/u/andrew/.
As you can see, it generates a nicely formatted page with a list of your caving trips, which anyone can browse, as well as view some fun statistics. It also has the option to keep some or all of your trips private, as well as the ability to export all of your data to a spreadsheet format at any time. In the future I would like to add the ability to see trips of people you have added as friends, comment/"like" them, and produce full rich-text trip reports hosted on the site (like a blog).
I developed this entirely for my own use but I thought I'd share it here in case anyone wants to have a look or share any (welcome) feedback. You can have a play around by going to https://caves.app/ and creating an account (email verification required). I'm not making any money out of this, just keen to share my little project. I eagerly await being told that pen and paper is better!
