Update 25: Help us generate lots of useful route tags

Update 21: What do you think of these new designs for our desktop app?

Update 10: What principles should we be guided by?
What principles should guide us? How should we treat each other? What responsibilities do we have when using a route or sharing route information? How should we care for people, places and nature? How should data be treated? What should Good Ways itself promise to do?

Good Ways is so new we’ve not even got a brand yet. We’ve not got a logo, colours, choice of font, photo-style or an identity. Choosing these will shape our future relationships and success. Anton, our designer, has been working on lots of possibilities. We’ve narrowed them down into two initial concepts and would like…
