🐕 Fresh Features Alert: Community Management & UI Improvements!

Hey ParkBuddies community! 🎾

We've been busy as beavers (or should we say busy as border collies?) working on some pawsome improvements to make your park experience even better. Today's update brings you more control, better organization, and smoother interactions throughout the app!

🗨️ Comment Control: Edit & Delete Your Thoughts

Ever posted a comment about a park and immediately thought "Oops, I meant to say something else"? We've all been there! Now you have full control over your park comments:

✨ What's New:

Edit your comments - Fix typos, add more details, or update your thoughts about a park
Delete comments - Remove comments you no longer want visible
Your comments, your control - Only you can edit or delete your own comments

This means you can keep park discussions fresh and accurate. Found out that broken water fountain got fixed? Edit your comment! Posted duplicate feedback by mistake? Delete the extra one!

📍 Check-in Management: Oops Button Activated

Sometimes we all click a little too fast (especially when we're excited about reaching the park!). Now you can fix those accidental check-ins:

✨ What's New:

Delete check-ins - Remove check-ins you didn't mean to make
Clean up your history - Keep your park visit log accurate
Quick fixes - No more contacting support for check-in mistakes

Perfect for those times when you accidentally checked in at the wrong park or tapped the button twice in excitement!

🏆 Leaderboard Time Travel: Monthly & Yearly Views

Want to see how your park adventures stack up over time? Our leaderboard just got a major upgrade with time filtering options!

✨ What's New:

Monthly leaderboards - See who's been the most active this month
Yearly rankings - Track your progress over the entire year
Fresh competition - Monthly resets mean everyone has a fair shot at the top
Seasonal insights - Discover who are the true winter warriors vs. summer explorers

Whether you're a consistent park-goer or someone who has busy and quiet months, these new views help you find your competitive edge and celebrate your achievements!

🔍 Smart Park Filters: No More Hidden Options

This was a big one! Many of you told us you didn't realize you could filter the parks list. We heard you loud and clear and completely redesigned the filter experience:

✨ What's New:

Always-visible search bar - No more hunting for the search option
Quick filters - Type, city, and search filters are right there when you load the page
Filter pills - See exactly what filters are active with removable badges
Advanced options - More detailed filters (size, fencing, fountain rating) are still available in "More Filters"
One-click removal - Remove individual filters or clear everything with one click

🎯 Why This Matters:

Finding the perfect park for your pup is now effortless. Want a fenced area in Vienna with a dog fountain? The filters are right there waiting for you - no clicking through hidden menus!

🐕‍🦺 Single Dog Auto-Check: For the One-Dog Families

If you have just one furry friend (we see you, devoted single-dog parents!), checking into parks just got even smoother:

✨ What's New:

Automatic selection - Your dog is automatically selected when you open the check-in modal
Skip the extra click - Go straight from "Check In" to selecting your visit duration
Streamlined experience - Perfect for those quick park visits

This small touch saves time and makes the check-in process feel more natural for single-dog households!

🎾 Try It All Out!

Head over to the parks page and try the new filters, leave a comment on your favorite park (and edit it if you want!), check out the monthly leaderboard, and if you have a single dog, enjoy that smooth check-in experience.

As always, your feedback makes ParkBuddies better for everyone. Found a bug? Have an idea? Drop us a line - we love hearing from our community of dog lovers!

Happy park hopping! 🐕🎾
