The upload experience has been overhauled for better clarity. In the new user interface, we aimed to make it clear which file is currently being processed and how many new flights were added. Uploading a tracklog multiple times does not result in duplicates; if a flight already exists, it is displayed at the end of the process accordingly. We also took the opportunity to fix issues reported by the community, where users got stuck in the upload state without any error message.

We are thrilled to announce the latest update to our web app, packed with features designed to enhance your experience and make managing your flight data even easier.

Here's a quick look at what's new:

Progressive Web App (PWA) Capabilities

One of the most significant updates is that our web app is now a Progressive Web App (PWA). This means you can install it directly on your mobile device or desktop for a more seamless experience. Once installed, you can open your IGC tracklog files directly with the app, allowing for instant uploads and smoother data management.

Optimized Mobile Layout

Understanding the importance of mobility for our users, we have completely revamped our mobile layout. The new design is optimized for phones, ensuring that you have a smooth and intuitive experience no matter where you are. Navigation is now more straightforward, and key functionalities are easily accessible, making it simpler than ever to manage and analyze your flights on the go.

Overhauled Flight Plotting Feature

We've also made significant improvements to our flight plotting feature. The interface has been given a cleaner, more modern look, ensuring that your flight data is presented in the most user-friendly way possible. This overhaul includes enhancements to the visual clarity of plots, making it easier to analyze your flight paths and performance.

We hope these updates enhance your experience with our app and look forward to hearing your feedback. As always, our goal is to provide you with the best tools to manage, share, and analyze your flight data effectively. Enjoy the new features and happy flying!

Welcome everyone! I hope you all found some lift during the winter months. We are excited to share several new features and tweaks to the site. Here’s what’s new:

Flight Page Enhancements

The flight page has been enhanced with new features for a richer experience. It now includes an interactive altitude plot that integrates high-resolution ground elevation data, allowing for a more detailed analysis of your flight path. Additionally, the page now displays nearby flights at the bottom, making it easier to compare and analyze flight activities.

Flight Manager View Updates

We have updated the flight manager view to include more detailed information about each flight. Now, you can view the distance flown and the total elevation gained during each flight. These new data points are also available as sorting options, helping you organize and access your flight data more effectively.

Updated Statistics Page

The statistics page now fully displays all data that was previously marked as "work in progress." This complete data set provides a more comprehensive view of your flight statistics and progress.

Visual Ranking of Scores

Scores are now ranked for better visual distinction, making it easier to assess and compare performance at a glance. For more details on how scores are ranked, please visit the FAQ section.

Interface Improvements

We've made several improvements to enhance the usability of our site on various devices. The list view has been revamped to be more useful on smaller screens, ensuring you have access to all necessary information without sacrificing usability. Additionally, a new gallery view with thumbnails of your flights provides a visually appealing way to browse your activities.

We have also focused on enhancing the user experience with better handling of dark mode and improvements to the upload page, providing a smoother and more intuitive interaction.

As we move forward, our focus will be on gathering wider user feedback and making further improvements to mobile usability. Stay tuned and fly safe!

The last few months were about major reworks in the background. This were necessary both from a performance perspective, and for ensuring the long term maintainability of the site. To keep tings at least a bit interesting the flight thumbnails now include the outline (legs between turnpoints) of the flights. Hope you like it!

Hello Everyone! As you might have noticed the news section have been moved to its own page to make place for a home page that displays all your (public) flights. In addition a like and favourite feature have been added, you can now mark your flights as a favourite to find them faster and leave a like for any flights you wish.

Back again with a new way of finding and managing your flihts, this time in a table. The new view found under "My Flights > Table" can sort and filter your flights while giving a nice overview of all their important details. Additionally you can also select multiple flights to edit their privacy or delete them. The new view also provides scores and flight types, these will soon come to other views and flight page itself.

Besides a number of small improvements to the user interface, you now have the ability to browse your flights on an interactive map. Try it out now by selecting the 'Map' option under 'My Flights'!

You can now add YouTube videos to your flights in three easy steps:

1. Open one of your flights from the list on the Flights page
2. Click the edit button on the bottom card
3. Enter a valid YouTube video URL and click the save button

The video will appear on the flight's page. Of course, only the flight's owner can add, edit or remove the video.

I'm excited to announce that Gaggle+ opens its virtual doors to the public today. Registration, upload, flight processing and sharing work, but the site is still very much in beta. Please excuse the rough edges, I'm actively trying to smooth them out. Constructive feedback and reports on issues are much appreciated (since you are here so early I'm assuming you know how to reach me). I was planning on writing more about upcoming features, but I'd rather not make any promises with so many plans and ideas floating around in my head. I'll make sure to let you know when the road ahead clears up a bit.
