Brabrandstien
Black Friday is sneaking up on us so Brabrandstien changes will go on a pause until that passes in late November.
The Frontpage on Desktop and mobile now shows the latest photos along Brabrandstien. It loads portrait photos for mobile.
A timeline of all photos submitted to Brabrandstien is now showing on the Photos page.
Submit your own photo along Brabrandstien by visiting a Location page.
Brabrandstien is not Riis Skov. We use toilets.
To make life easier for Brabrandstien guests you can filter the Brabrandstien map to show Toilets.
Things to note when it comes to toilets along Brabrandstien.
More information and context for each toilet will follow. 🙂
What information would you like to see on the Brabrandstien map?
Thanks Google! I’ll be adding short description of each Location and assigning a Featured image to help give organic traffic another boost this month.
Here’s the Todo page to see what’s coming up.
You can now upload images directly to the Locations page where you’re seeing a flooded path.
This site is available in both Danish and English but I wanted comments to be shared across both languages. It took some time but after I found the Multilingual Comments WPML (thanks Pieter!) it all fits together nicely!
I’ll add some promient “Upload a photo” buttons to the Map and Locations pages as well as a mobile phone detector to let the site visitor swap between opening the Camera app directly from the webpage or opening their Gallery app.
It’s end user data collection time! I’ve added a notifications form so you can receive a general notice of flooding along Brabrandstien.
Currently all the monitored locations have no risk of flooding so all is quiet.
The expectation is that when the current water level at one of the monitored locations along Brabrandstien passes a flooding level threshold that a general flooding notification will be sent to form subscribers. A e-mail, SMS or push notification will be sent once, and won’t be sent again until the next flooding event.
No, not at this time.
If Brabrandstien.dk continues to grow and evolves into something that benefits other flood prone areas of Denmark then absolutely self-service notifications will make an appearance.
No, not at this time.
As above, baby steps. Integration into smart home systems and providing an insight tool for other platforms would be pretty cool!
Most of Brabrandstien is open again. Yay! I adjusted the water level limits yesterday for Åbrinkvej, Åhavevej, Andenbro, Holmbækvej (sti) as there was still surface water there but it was passable by bike.
Here is a rough list of places along Brabrandstien (this is not maintained and location names will change as the list expands):
Done! The move to the new domain brabrandstien.dk went to plan, Stations and Locations data was migrated over and a redirect of traffic from visser.io has been applied for social traffic.
This site is hosted on Closte, using WordPress and Mapbox for the website presentation. This site uses a hand-made WordPress Plugin to download and process water level data from WatsonC’s Calipso platform to present estimated flooding along Brabrandstien.
I will focus on applying the feedback received from r/Aarhus in the coming weeks so this site is ready for the next Brabrandstien flooding event.
Here’s the Todo page with outstanding tasks and credits.
