brouter web with hiking profile.
Select it in in upper left menu - then fine tune the script on the right.

#143This looks fantastic! Please make sure to let us know when it's available in the Americas as well, I would love to use this.

Thank you! I didn’t add a way for people from other regions to sign up, like a newsletter since I figured most people dislike it here on HN. You can check back on this thread in 2–3 weeks, and there should be an update comment from me announcing a new version of the planner with the US region included.

I feel sorry for you. On high horses there must be awfully thin air and that can cause nose bleed I heard. omg... what?
What's high about my horses? When $10 is a considerable amount of money for you, that means you are broke. If on the other hand, you don't think the product is worth $10, then that's it. I see it every day hackers talking about how they cannot afford $5 or $10 for something. If they are honest, then that means they are living in poverty. If they are not living in poverty, why not just say "I don't think it's worth my…
There is a huge difference between $10 and $10 a month. "Afford" is not necessarily the right qualifier. Frequency of utility is pretty important here. My apple music sub costs $16 for my partner and I. We both use it extensively throughout the day. I might plan a new bike route once or twice a month.

#146Woah, impressive. I plotted a course from the northern tip of Amsterdam to Kinderdijk and it worked the first time. Neat!
It would be great™ if it could drag new mandatory points and choose alternative routes. Also, switching from administrative to with satellite view would be helpful.

If $10 per month or $10 once is an important amount, that means the person is broke. Like you explain yourself, it's not that you cannot afford the bike app, it is that the product is not for you, ie it's not worth your money. Most things are not worth our money. That doesn't mean we can't afford them.

#148Would love to see this for the SF Bay Area - lots of great cycling around here and I'm unsatisfied with using Strava to create routes! One of the most frustrating things for me with snapping to official paths is not being able to modify it for common workarounds (for instance, going across the Golden Gate bridge, everyone takes a shortcut through a parking lot, but every map routing platform I have used forces me to…
And Davis, naturally. ;)
I'm around hill country TX now where there is typically a patchwork of bike lanes segments that start and stop without much attention given to continuity of (sub)urban planning, walkability, safety, or design consideration for non-motorized users.

#149Next.js without a node backend, what do you lose (SSR, etc.) by choosing to use another backend-only or monolithic framework?
I was looking at Rails (API mode + partial asset pipeline) + Next.js for a project to start, and might entertain elixir or rust when scalability of slow areas became a problem. Sometimes I think there will be eventually a system of LLMs that will figure out how to manage and configure operating systems, write mobile native and web apps, and administer databases. And then they'll eventually rewrite programming languages and design silicon to be better for themselves, so that they will only need a part time human to clean and maintain the robot security guard.

Thank you, appreciate it! Travelmap looks awesome—I love the idea. I will definitely try it out on my next trip. This morning, I picked up an affordable m920q with 64GB of RAM and I’m planning to use it for hosting GH and maybe vector tiles too. If I run into any issues I can’t figure out quickly I’ll reach out but I don’t want to bug you with basic questions.
I have a stack of about 10 older dual xeon based supermicro 1u machines with 512gb of ram....if you are in the oregon area you can have any number of them for free! infini-ram makes life easier when dealing with OSM data.
Oh man, that's sweet! Thank you. I would be at your door by now but I'm located 8000 km away from Oregon :D I just received a tiny M920Q, and 64 GB of RAM should arrive tomorrow. I'll have to make do with it for now :D
