This is great. I've been working on an adventure motorcycling trip planning app which has similar requirements of being able to work offline as you ride your preplanned trip.

Yours is a good example of what can be done by keeping it simple and not getting wrapped around the axle with complicated frameworks.

It makes me regret all the time I've spent trying to figure out the absolute best tech stack to use rather than just working on finishing the damn thing.

I've extensively used Osmand off-line during my overlanding trips, from Cape Town to Europe across west Africa and from Czechia to Mongolia. Why reinvent the wheel?

[BTBurke]

Everything has been done at least once. If we don't try to improve on what's out there, no progress will ever made.

I think Osmand works fine for some things but really sucks for planning long, time-bound trips, which is my use case.

In my case, looking at a very similar set of requirements for a project yet to be started, a target audience that includes both Android and iOS and people who might be reluctant to install an app (but should have the option to "offlinify" the website they use, perfect match for PWA)

I know that pain. It helped that I had a two week time constraint! I really wanted to use Svelte, but I found it nearly impossible to use without a build script.

Please please please give me a way to hear more when it's ready!

OsmAnd is fantastic, but there's room for improvement.

I'd love to hear more about what improvements you'd like to see. Nothing is ready to be shared yet, but when it is I'll announce it here first for beta testers:

You should consider changing the name to something that isn't single trail-specific.

[BTBurke]

It's open source so when it's ready you can fork it and call it anything you want. Some of the features are meant to be specific to motorcyclists. And as far as getting the word out, it's easier to make it specific to a particular community since I know where they hang out online and how to get it in front of eyeballs.

How can I hear more when it’s ready?
