Website
Websites like forums or online guideboooks, were the first digital resources for paddlers.
If a resource is a Website, it is optimized to be used on a big screen. It may or may not be also optimized for mobile devices.
Some Websites for paddlers have a long history and only work well on a desktop- or laptop computer. If they are not designed to be mobile friendly, they may still work on a phone or tablet, but are often hard to use, as it needs a lot of zooming around the small screen. Some functions of a non- mobile friendly website may rely on the user having a Mouse to hover over an element, which can not be done on a touch -only device.

Websites for paddlers
RiverZone
RiverZone started as a replacement for the ailing and unmaintained water level page on CKFiumi website and later merged with the Rivermap project.
The Riverzone webpage remains as a resource for the Italian kayaking community and as a way for me to experiment with new data (like, for example, per-river-section Point of Interests) and new UI approaches.
Rivermap
Rivermap visualizes the navigability of river sections on an interactive map to give canoeists the best possible and quick overview of the current situation. The individual sections are color-coded depending on the water level and information recorded by paddlers provides valuable additional information. Using filters and linked data, the current situation and further developments can be analyzed more precisely.
