📦 Already shipped

Typo patrol

2026-07-24
  • ✏️ Fixed words running together on the About page and the bars count ('306Oslo bars' is once again '306 Oslo bars'). A rendering bug ate the spaces; we got them back.

Small fixes

2026-07-21
  • 🗺️ Wembley Fotballpub is now listed under Grünerløkka instead of Sentrum (it's up by Schouterrassen), so the neighbourhood label and the district filter finally agree.

Out on the town

2026-07-20
  • 📡 Share your live location with the group for 2 hours — see where everyone is on the map in real time (fully opt-in, turns itself off after 2h).
  • 📍 Location stays on — if you've allowed it once, the app finds you automatically every time you open it. No more tapping 'use my location'.
  • 🍺 Bars tab: 'nearest' now means within a 15-minute walk, and there's a cheapest-beer leaderboard you can filter by All Oslo, near you, or any district.
  • 🎲 Dice: roll up to 8 at once with +/- buttons, and the dice are much clearer to read.
  • 👤 Picking a name now suggests existing names, so nobody accidentally makes two profiles or clashes with someone else.

Easier to use

2026-07-20
  • 🧭 New navigation — four big buttons at the top: Map, This week, Bars and Social. Easier to hit, less clutter.
  • 🎲 Games! A whole tab of drinking games to play right now — dice, Who Drinks, Truth or Dare, Never Have I Ever, Most Likely To, coin flip. Find it under Social.
  • 🍺 The Bars tab now shows the bars nearest to you first, plus the cheapest pints around you — just turn on your location.
  • 📺 'Where to watch' moved inside This week, so everything about tonight's games is in one place.
  • 👤 Set your name once and you're done — no more being asked again on every page.

Now it works anywhere

2026-07-20
  • 🌍 The app is on the internet now, not just one person's Wi-Fi — open it from any phone, anywhere in Oslo.
  • 📲 Add it to your home screen and it opens like a real app, fullscreen.
  • 💾 Everyone's visits, ratings, rounds and scores are saved safely in the cloud.

Dice, receipts & seatbelts

2026-07-20
  • 🎲 Surprise crawl generator — pick district, stops and max price; the machine plans a walkable route you can save or open on the map
  • 📋 Copy-for-group-chat button on the digest — the week's games, happenings and cheap bars as paste-ready text
  • 📊 /stats — page views counted with zero cookies, zero personal data (linked in the footer)
  • 💾 The friends database now backs itself up on every server start (last 8 kept) — the passport race is safe
  • 🔢 Crawl stops always show their numbers now, even when the map is zoomed out into clusters
  • 🚀 Deploy prep: the project is a git repository with its first commit; DEPLOY.md has the remaining steps

No more sideways

2026-07-20
  • 📵 The page can no longer be dragged sideways — a missed swipe on the nav used to scroll the whole app and reveal a black gutter
  • ⚡ Game-day banner text wraps instead of spilling off the right edge
  • 📺 Broadcaster labels are short now — "TV2 + NRK" instead of a paragraph; the fine print lives on the Where-to-watch page

Notch-proof

2026-07-19
  • 📱 The top bar no longer hides behind the iPhone notch / Dynamic Island in the installed app — the nav slides down to safe ground while the glass background still fills the whole top edge
  • 🗺️ Map height adjusts to match, so nothing gets cut off top or bottom

Phone, fixed properly

2026-07-19
  • 🐛 The map never loaded over Wi-Fi — Next was silently refusing app code to other devices in dev mode; now allowed for the home network
  • ⚡ Dedicated fast server for phones (production build on port 3001) — no more dev-mode sluggishness
  • 📲 Installable: Add to Home Screen now gives a real app icon (glossy pint 🍺), fullscreen launch, dark status bar
  • 👆 Taps register instantly — removed the mobile double-tap-zoom delay and grey tap flashes

Actually good on your phone

2026-07-19
  • 📱 Real mobile layout — slim bottom bar (Filters · 🎲 · 📍 · 🍻) instead of a panel eating the map
  • ⚙️ Filters open as a proper full-screen sheet with a "Show N bars" button — you see the count change as you toggle
  • 🖥️/📱 Layout switch — force desktop or mobile mode from the filter panel or bottom bar; your choice sticks on the device
  • 🧾 Bar drawer on mobile is a bottom card that leaves the map visible

Nightlife & going live

2026-07-18
  • 🪩 Nightclubs! 14 clubs (Blå, Ingensteds, Lawo, IVY…) join the map with their own pink dots and Club filter
  • 🗺️ Selected district now shows its actual border on the map
  • 📢 Check-ins — tap "I'm here now" and you're on the map for ~5 hours; the group sees who's out and where
  • ⭐ Beer ratings — rate bars 1–5, group average shows in the drawer
  • 🍻 Crawl live mode — run a saved crawl with shared check-offs, progress bar and walking legs
  • 🫗 Rounds ledger — who actually buys the beer (and who's next up 👀)
  • 🏅 Achievements — from First blood to Løkka legend
  • 🎁 Year wrapped — your bars, your districts, your damage
  • 🏁 Passport race — visited-count leaderboard between friends
  • 📅 Game-day banner: one tap turns tonight's match into an event
