I want to give you a small preview of the next feature release for #Bikerouter today:

There will be a built-in route manager where you can manage your planned routes.

This feature breaks with Bikerouter’s “everything lives in the browser” paradigm: routes will be stored on Bikerouter’s servers, and a user account will be required.

However, this is designed in a privacy-friendly way and does not require an email address or other personal information. The feature is also optional and can simply be ignored if you’re not interested.

I’ll gradually share more details, but for now, here’s just a screenshot (which may differ from the final released version as there’s still a lot in flux).

How about publishing Bikerouter’s source code so others can review it and also to ensure the tool doesn’t end up in enshittification or disappearing altogether?

@bikerouter Wäre eine Lösung bei der man Lokale files hat nicht besser. Also ich lade mir eine Datei rein und kann die bearbeiten inkl. AutoSave?

Dann brauchts nichts auf dem Server und auch kein Login.

Ich arbeite auch gerade an einem Fork bei dem ich das genau so mache.

@bikerouter
Presumably this feature will also make it possible for people to save their own customised routing profiles and share routes created using those customised routing profiles. (As per "User Defined" in the screenshot).
@bikerouter Das sind gute Nachrichten. Ich vermisse das Abspeichern schon etwas.
