I don't know where the best place to put this is, so I picked here. I hope enough people see this. If a moderator thinks it is worthy of being moved, please do so. I had a couple of ideas for fun distractions on the website, that I am hoping someone who is inclined will want to do. First is the "Mileage Leaderboard". Make a simple form to enter your EV mileage ( you do it every few days ), and then it tells you your ranking compared to everyone else on the site, and there is a leaderboard page where you can see everyone who participates. I know that I don't drive a lot of miles and am nowhere near the top, but I thought it would be fun. It would also be fun to see the total go up. The second I call "Paint the World Green". You enter cities or towns you drive your EV to. The data gets aggregated and we collectively try to fill in the whole world. ( We can start with a small set of countries and expand. ) As an alternative, instead of a destination, you enter a route you have driven and paint that way. Anybody interested? I volunteer to help PM and test, but I suck at web dev. I am an old C programmer.
Not advocating for or against the distractions, but I would think wh/m would be a better leaderboard. Some people just drive a lot. Some people have had their cars years, while others have had theirs for a month. Not exactly a fair competition.
Add the date the car was delivered, and calculate miles/day. That's what the what the ActiveE guys did for ActiveE East Coast Versus West Coast Mileage contest (TMC's own MPT did the programming)
Or a rolling total of the past 30 days or similar. Not that TMC needs to be any more distracting. In fact I would probably take less distracting if I could. I know my boss would.
