Hello, hope you don’t mind me adding to the suggestions list (wasn’t sure if it should go into another post, but similar topics might get merged into one).
Before that, for 2: Today I mapped out the majority of Walls Out West in Penrith (below), the majority of these are in a line. Initially there were a couple at the precinct that were all just inputted with the one address (i.e. 2115 Castlereagh Road) with the exact pinned location, but after shuffling them slightly to their rightful spots, the mega zoom present on both the SAC App/Web versions help to tap/click each one individually.
Some more suggestions/potential improvements for SAC, many are very minor:
-
The description of each City’s page has “Let us show you around this awesome town with its # street art masterpieces.” (Web) and “These fine folks are responsible for documenting # artworks in this town.” (App) I’m thinking the wording could be revised to be less based on settlement hierarchy (i.e. village, town, city, metropolis, etc.), maybe to something like “this place” or “here”, or potentially just be generalised to City (y’know, Street Art Cities)? But it might not make sense for a hamlet/very small village? Not sure I’m making much sense.
-
When an artwork is added to a city with no artist (say Sydney), the home page says “New artwork added in Australia”. Can this be changed to the city it’s been added into rather than the encompassing country?
-
I’ve just come across an issue when creating a route (Walls Out West) and trying to add artworks that are untitled and/or have no artist. The only way to add artworks is to search by the artwork title or artist. Example 1 is the untitled green zombie artwork by an unknown artist, and example 2 is an untitled Phibs artwork where many other untitled ones exist throughout Sydney. Can it also be searched by the locality/suburb also to help aid in the search? My preference would be is to be able to select existing markers on a map and then arrange the artworks on a route around that with the existing functionality.

I’m not sure if this is on the mobile version, but on the web version when I click on the quote button, it saves the artwork as is. I’ve actually been doing the quoted text as the very last thing when editing an artwork as it conveniently saves it. Not sure if this is the intended behaviour.

More badges! Maybe an additional tier for after Super Hunter (which is 250)? A globetrotting badge for hunting in many different cities/countries? A fan badge for adding 25 different artworks of a single artist (need to find someone who’s actually done 25… oh wait)?
I actually haven’t used the SAC app, particularly as the lone wolf hunter for Sydney and surrounds (there are a few other Sydneysiders who take some great shots for local street art, but I haven’t reached out). There would most definitely be dynamics as a hunter team for a city and a real motivation to use the SAC app.
Plus for the additional ones when I reintro’d myself just over a month ago, including a bulk edit and/or table format function, expanded hunter profiles, those too. Something to help filter out the artworks in the dashboard where there is specifically no description or artist, and where the photo credits are missing. And a lot more gamification. The street art hunts are absolutely real and thrilling in their own way.
Hoping for some more involvement and activity in the forums, so I may post randomly here or there. I probably should get started with my locale. Cheers SAC, glad to be back on board in full force!
