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.
