Favorites
Andrei opens Discover on Sunday night and sees four activities he's interested in: a Piatra Craiului ridge, a beginner trip to Apuseni for his cousin, a winter weekend in Făgăraș (he doesn't have the gear yet but maybe by January), and a one-day Ceahlău. He's not ready to commit to any of them. He taps the bookmark icon on each card.
On Tuesday he opens Profile > Saved and the four are still there.
That's what favorites are for. They're the holding zone for "this might be a thing" before "yes, I'm going".
Saving an activity
The bookmark icon shows up in three places:
- On every card in
Discoverand search results. - On the action card of the activity details page.
- On any activity in your past or upcoming list.
Tap once to save. The icon fills in. Tap again to unsave.
There's no "save dialog" or "save to which folder" — favorites are a flat list per user. Keep it simple.
Where saved activities live
Profile > Saved.
The list shows the same compact card you'd see in Discover, sorted by date with upcoming first. Past saved activities (including ones that ran without you) collapse into a section at the bottom.
You can:
- Tap any card to open the activity details.
- Tap the bookmark to remove the favorite.
- Use the same filters as
Discover(type, difficulty, date range) to narrow a long saved list.
Saved vs joined
These are two different states:
- Saved — you bookmarked it. You're not signed up.
- Joined — you signed up and were approved (or auto-approved).
Saving an activity doesn't reserve a spot. If the activity hits capacity while it's still in your saved list, you'll need to join the waitlist when you decide to commit. Capacity is first-come, not first-saved.
When you join an activity, the saved state stays — your join doesn't remove the bookmark. You'll see it in both Saved and Participation until you remove it manually.
Offline behavior
Toggling a favorite while offline applies immediately on your device and queues the change in the local outbox. When connectivity returns, the change replicates to your account. If you save an activity on your phone offline and then open the web app on a laptop, the saved state shows up there once your phone has synced.
If something fails to sync (rare, but possible if the activity was deleted while you were offline), the cache diagnostics in Profile > About will surface it.
Privacy
Your saved list is private to you. No other user can see what you bookmarked. The organizer of an activity can't tell that you saved it without joining.
When something looks off
- A favorite disappeared from
Saved. The activity was deleted or unpublished. The bookmark goes with it; there's no way to keep a favorite for an activity that no longer exists. - Bookmark won't toggle. You may be offline and the outbox is full (very rare) or the activity has been removed during the same session. Refresh and try again.
- A bookmark you set on phone isn't on the web app. Open the cache diagnostics in
Profile > Aboutand check whether the local outbox is empty. If a queued operation is stuck, you can clear offline actions from the same screen.
