It's a Saturday so I took a break from software development to, err, develop software? Of course.

https://codeberg.org/pbarker/gpxtidy

gpxtidy is a little Rust program to tidy up GPX files for publication - it removes dates, times and personally identifying data so that they can be safely shared online. It simplifies the track by removing points that introduce less than a configurable error threshold. Finally it writes the result as either a GPX file or a GeoJSON LineString.

If you upload tracks of hikes, rides, runs or similar then this might be of interest to you.

I can't publish it to crates.io yet as it relies on an unreleased version of the gpx crate, but hopefully that will get fixed soon.

@pbarker would this work well for motorcycle routes? (I’m new to GPX)
@narthur It probably would, though you may need to adjust the maximum error threshold to get good results.
