SizeSquirrel - Climbing shoe sizing, recommendations, and deals
One day I wanted to buy climbing shoes online, and the idea for SizeSquirrel sprung up.
I am thankful for everyone that has used and continues to use the site and support it in some way.
SizeSquirrel was never as financially successful as I had hoped and the many hours I spent on it were a labor of love. These days it barely manages to pay for the costs of running it, and I find my free time to be too valuable to continue working on it.
Going forward, I will do my best to:
- Keep the site active and operational.
- Add new climbing shoes to the site as they are released.
There will probably not be any work done on new features for the time being.
Actively looking for contributors.
If you would like to contribute to SizeSquirrel, please open a GitHub issue for discussion or a pull request directly.
No contribution is too small.
