Over the last two months, I developed wanderer. It is a self-hosted alternative to sites like alltrails.com or in other words a self-hosted trail database. It started out more as a small hobby project to teach myself some new technologies but in the end, I decided to develop it into a fully-fledged application.

Core Features:

  • Manage your trails
  • Extensive map integration and visualization
  • Share trails with other people and explore theirs
  • Advanced filter and search functionality
  • Create custom lists to organize your trails further
  • Chique design with a dark and light theme
  • Fully mobile compatible

wanderer is completely open-source. You can find the GitHub repo here: https://github.com/Flomp/wanderer

wanderer is still under active development so if you encounter any bugs/errors or have suggestions please let me know here or open an issue on GitHub.

    Strava has continued to enshittify the app to the point that I’m getting ads after every activity. Anyway, I decided to delete it after yesterday’s run and will keep an eye on this project. Thanks!

      You mean after the price hike they also hiked the number of ads? I canceled when they hiked the price and managed to get it down to the old price a few months later, so I renewed for the personal heatmap. Looks like I’m definitely canceling again. I doubt they’ll give me the price break twice anyway.

      Baking ads into a timeline like Strava and some other apps do has to be the worst app trend ever.

        If you just like the personal heat map then checkout grrrmin_heatmap. It’s a pretty flexible python script for generating them.

          This appears to be what I’ve been looking for. I can’t wait to try it. Thanks for sharing.

      Strava has ads now? I use NextDNS on my devices so assuming this is filtering out their ads.

    I LOVE THIS.

    Self hosted, GOOD LOOKING (rarity in FOSS), nice to use and privacy-aiding.

    Thank you so much!

    This is an excellent use case for a self hosted service, since location data is frequently used for nefarious purposes.

    Would be nice with activity pub support for sharing planned and recorded trails. Cone to think of it. Does it make that distinction? Planned vs recorded? How about a planning, route finding mode?

    Kudos to your project so far!

      I’m not sure if I understand your question correctly. Do you mean creating a trail from scratch on the map without recording it before? That is indeed on my roadmap.

      Wanted to ask this. Is it difficult to implement activity pub? That would be awesome. It looks beautiful

        I’ve done that, all containers report healthy, but still can’t connect. I’ve tried changing ORIGIN to ip;port, domain: port, still nothing. Really weird.

    Love it.

    I’ve been willing to learn more about programming with location/map data so definitely checking this out.

    Are you looking for contributions or help on anything? I think I might at least look at providing a Dutch translation for the front-end if you’re accepting PRs.

    Super cool thank you for making this! I just got a bike for the first time in over 20 years and I’m ready to explore my area. I have been trying out those other apps like all trails and trail forks, everything being so paywalled is frustrating.

    The bike I just got, it’s a beaut. A Clem Smith Jr. L from Rivendell Bike Works. I’m loving just scoping out parts and things but it’s a super great bike already.

    I look forward to trying this out and thanks again!
