Appearance

Public Shared View ​

📢 - INFO

This page describes what happens when someone opens a public share link (/shared/TOKEN) — i.e., the view from the recipient's side. It's the same 3D analysis StolWRX users get, but read-only and scoped to just the content the owner included.

The URL looks like:

https://stolwrx.com/shared/AbCd123XyZ

No sign-in is required. Clicking the link opens StolWRX in read-only mode for the shared content.

What's Shown ​

The recipient sees:

  • The 3D map with the owner's flight track(s) drawn, already centered on the content.
  • The strip chart under the map, with the same channels the owner had available at share time.
  • The time-range scrubber — but locked to the owner's cropped range. Thumbs are still draggable for the recipient's convenience, but only within the owner's crop.
  • Track photo markers along the flight. Clicking opens the lightbox.
  • Any waypoints the owner explicitly attached to the share (typical: a few strips near the route).

What's Not Shown ​

  • No sidebar with other flights or waypoints.
  • No menu for uploading, creating, sharing, deleting, or exporting.
  • No profile, no subscription status, no billing.
  • No flight data outside the cropped range.

Interactions the Recipient Can Do ​

  • Pan, zoom, tilt the map.
  • Change basemap (satellite / streets / VFR sectional / land ownership).
  • Scrub the strip chart — the playhead and map update in real time.
  • Hover / click photo markers — opens the thumbnail hover, then the fullscreen lightbox with arrows to flip between photos.
  • Open in StolWRX — if the recipient wants to dig deeper, they can click through to sign up, upload their own flights, and build their own waypoint set.

What the Recipient Cannot Do ​

  • Upload anything.
  • Edit or delete anything belonging to the owner.
  • See other flights or waypoints owned by the sharer.
  • Revoke the link or generate new ones.

Social Preview Card ​

When the share link is pasted into a messaging app or social network, the preview card shows:

  • A screenshot of the map at the moment of share (taken by StolWRX at link-generation time).
  • The flight title.
  • A short description.

See Sharing Flights.

The link is invalid if:

  • The owner revoked it.
  • The owner deleted the underlying flight(s).
  • The flight(s) were made private after the link was created.

The recipient sees a "this shared flight is no longer available" page rather than a blank map. They can ask the owner for a new link.

Embedding ​

Share URLs work inside an <iframe>. The StolWRX marketing site uses this for the landing-page demo (see NEXT_PUBLIC_LANDING_DEMO_EMBED_URL). If you want to embed a specific shared flight in your own site, use the /shared/TOKEN URL as the iframe src.
