That's exactly what I'm looking into right now if it's doable! I did not enjoy getting trapped at Calvin Harris in Arcadia last year or getting stuck for 30m to see Mel C do a DJ set haha. As someone else mentioned it would need to be done in a way that doesn't direct everyone towards the same path and make the problem worse though.

Appreciate it! Yeah I mean fair enough I think people just don't like to feel like they're being sold to but gotta get the word out somehow! The tech stack is Postgres/C#/React my day job is working as a full stack web developer so I've had a lot of time to hone what I'd like to use for side projects. I was hesitant to go down the route of drawing on the map but gets lots of similar requests so think i'll create pins for each stage and hopefully get the distance to each act based on where you are thanks for the feedback. 😄

That's good to know thanks I'll try to get in contact with them and see what the situation is. With the map georefrenced already it's not a long stretch to manually trace the lines and stages after that anyway but I do like the look of their map!

Yeah there are a couple of traders I need to talk to that's next on my list to see if the cost can be offloaded onto traders instead from what I hear there is a lot of appetite to have something traders can list and promote their business from at the festival!

Yeah I should clarify this is my project and website and is something I wanted to build since using the EE app last year and finding it lackluster, I can't find a way to edit the topic title but I guess it should have said "alternative" rather than "replacement".

I'd ideally like someway to make money and start working for myself instead of a company and this has the added benefit that stalls can't game the system by creating loads of fake reviews with different accounts!

Hey everyone I have been working on an app to replace the EE app for next year and would love to get your feedback: https://unofficialglasto.co.uk/ The app can: Show you the current Glastonbury year map and your current location Show all line ups by day Favourite artists, find clashes and filter based on favourites and artists playing soon Create food stall listings and food reviews Add friends, see what artists they have favourited and filter based on their favourites The next tasks are: Make sure everything is as offline as possible for when the internet connection is terrible Draw lines over the existing map to allow routing between acts and potentially avoid crowd crushes If there are any features you would place higher than these I would love to know! The food section is behind a £5 one off paywall but I am planning to give away the first 100 licenses for free so if you would like to play around, sign up with your email then send me a DM and I will make you a member. Cheers, Nick
