After adding a place, I want to see it immediately on the map

[holgerd]

As a logged-in user who adds a new node using /nodes/new , I want to immediately see the node I created on the map.

Why: We saw that some users create the same place multiple times. We want to prevent that in the future.

Alternative ideas on how to fix this:

• show a clear message after adding a node "Thanks for your node, it will be processed now and it will take some minutes to show up. You don't need to wait."
• Promise and send users confirmation email after the node they added is in the database

We already show this message: We can definitely improve this message to point out better that it takes a bit until the node shows up on the map.

Concerning the email: My feeling is, that this works fine if I create a new node occasionally but when I do this on a regular basis after the second email I already know that takes a bit. So does it make sense to introduce a setting where the user is able to turn off this email?

@schultyy good point, the problem might just be that the notice is often overlooked.

A design challenge, maybe?

I definitely overlooked the notice a couple times when adding things to wheelmap. :)

A dialog or "You did it!" page might be noticed more.
