Places are spots or facilities. They are located at an exact point, but can have more detailed components.
Spots are places where you can train. It doesn’t have to be big, it can be a single wall or barrier, but it can’t be a building designed for practicing, otherwise we designate it as a facility.
A facility is a building designed for practicing parkour, freerunning, bouldering, gymnastics or any other related sport.
Place kinds answer “What kind/type of spot is this?”. For example, places can be training spots, calisthenics parks…
You can find the full list on our Google Sheets spreadsheet.
To help us categorize places, please read “You can easily help us categorize parkour spots, wanna help?” on our blog.
Place components are a way of describing more finely how a place is geographically organized. It can be seen as a small map of the place, with shapes and labels.
Place elements are what you can find on a place. It can be walls, barriers, trees… as long as it’s useful for practicing. Most of the time it can be related to a component.
Places features describe the spot. They say what you can find on the spot and what makes it different from others. It includes place elements, benefits, dangers and techniques you can train there.
Maps are a small set of places.
Folders are a way to group things together. You can share them with friends, publicly or keep them private.
A user is basically someone who is using or used the app. To be clear about the vocabulary:
Groups allow you to share things more easily with other users. You can have plenty of groups, as you’d have tons of conversations on a messaging app. Creating groups allow you to give access to something to multiple users at once instead of giving individual accesses manually. It also keeps accesses up to date, when someone joins or leaves the group.
Groups doesn’t have to be reflecting real-life teams, you can organize them as you want!
When we talk about teams, we really mean teams in real life, groups of people regularly training together.
