If you're up for hosting your own, https://github.com/Flomp/wanderer
That's beautiful! Add federation and this could really be something I feel (and obviously there'd have to be a few good public servers because fediverse people and hikers probably don't have a huge overlap).
Just curious, what would federation add to this?
Mainly not having it be centralised. See, I can host my own. My local scout organisation can host their own. Maybe some other regional body can host their own. They have their own thing going, but they also have seamless integration with other services.
For something I'm self-hosting, there's no way there will be a big user base and a lot of public trails and such crowdsourced. But with a federated alternative I think we could see a very healthy form of crowdsourcing.
Oh yea I see now. So by many users self-hosting and it being federated, it would allow for shared data across instances like trail conditions, weather conditions, new trails, etc. Seems like a great idea
Federation would be incredible!
This is amazing, I need to install this ASAP. Are you using it yourself?
Wonder if there’s some sort of resource to import great hikes from.
I'm afraid not, it's on my to-do list and has been for a while
