Do you know http://www.hikr.org http://www.hikr.org ? It seems to fulfill the same purpose. It's centered on Europe and reports are mainly in German and other West European languages, but there's an English-speaking community on there, too. It has been around for a couple of years, has a huge community and tons of hiking reports already.
How is Hikify different?
Also, I think the copy of the three steps could be tightened. Something like "Find an interesting route near you - Climb it - Log your achievement and share your experience and your pictures."
- ArturSoler 16y agoAs far as I see it, hikr.org is more about hiking reports, and hikify.com is more about a peaks and routes database. There are also many interesting ideas that I have not had time to implement yet :) Thanks for the copy advise. As English is not my native language, copywriting is not my greatest virtue.
- thomas11 16y agoThe nice thing about hikr for me is that the reports together form a routes database, but with personal first-hand insights from different viewpoints. That goes beyond a traditional guidebook or route database. Sorry, I really don't want to bash your site, just trying to help you understand my perspective as a hikr user. Beware about the copy, English is not my native language either, and neither do I have any experience with copy writing. It was just a suggestion, before changing your site you should consult with someone who's better at that!
