Title: Hi HN! This is a trail companion web app (think AllTrails) I hacked together in a couple weeks time. I was inspired to create this project while training for an extended backpacking trip. My motivation was to create a UI tailored exactly to my liking, and to be able to track my progress along the trail without draining my battery. I also wanted to experiment with PWA technologies.<p>I successfully used it on my five day adventure along the Knobstone Trail in southern Indiana, and even though it&#x27;s web-based it hardly consumed any battery life on my old first-gen Pixel XL.<p>It&#x27;s set up currently to support a single trail, where the trail and trail markers are deployed with the rest of the app. So it&#x27;s single-use in that way. For future trips, I can simply swap out the GPX files and deploy.<p>I am releasing it with an open source license in case anyone wants to use it as a boilerplate to create their own.
