Possible New Features

Feature Requests
1

I have a few of suggestions for your consideration as follows:

  1. On the home page you have the activity globe. Could you add a way to pull out this feature in high resolution to a separate page that could then be moved to an alternate monitor for display? Many of us have two or more monitors, and this would be a cool graphical function to have.

  2. Could you give us a choice of page background colors. Currently everything is so dark, and it would be nice to have the option to lighten things up a bit.

  3. WRL’s graphics and user interface feels more modern and updated compared to sites like WJST-X and GridTracker. Could you add a popout option for a high resolution Realtime mapping integration option for FT8/FT4 and POTA contacts to WRL? Something like GridTracker that pulls Realtime/Near Realtime data from WSJT-X and POTA for display?

  4. Thanks for the Great work!

Hi Anthony,

Thanks for your suggestions! If I’m not mistaken, they’re already on the roadmap, but I’ll pass them along to our developers anyway. Thanks again!

First, I’m a brand-new Technician so I may not be using the correct terminology or the most knowledgeable on the subject. I have been using WSJT-X and GridTracker for making and tracking contacts to include POTA Hunting. My thought is with the much-improved WRL graphics and design if we could have a high resolution FT8/FT4 and POTA contact mapping representation option from within WRL that would be great! Of course, this would have to be linked to WJST-X for data I would think. Thanks for the consideration!

One more suggestion. How about a graphical representation (i.e. map) for the United States and also one of the world that is linked to our WRL logbooks that show which states countries we have contacted? I got this idea from the POTA website that has a list of US States you have made POTA contacts with to date. Thanks!

I always thought it would be a good idea to allow the people doing POTA/SOTA to upload a photo or several photos of their setup at the POTA/SOTA spots.

This one might be kinda nit-picky, but would it be possible to make hitting the “back” button (Android) navigate back to the last viewed comments page instead of to the Log page? I like to jump around the Community tab, but forget to click the back arrow to go back a page and, instead, hit my back button, which defaults to the logging tab.

Light mode is now available! If you click the icon in the upper right, you can change the mode.

This is also currently in review with the app store and will be released on iOS and Android within the next day or so!
