Thanks for the reply! I will give it a go :)
The word dawarich does not produce a polite sound in my main language, meant no offense to the project :)
Comment on Introducing reitti: a selfhosted alternative to Google Timeline
danielgraf@discuss.tchncs.de 3 weeks agoThanks :) As a German I really like the name Dawarich. First it sound really nice for me but also that “Da war ich” means “There have i been” in german makes, at least for me, an awesome project name.
Take this with a grain of salt because I have no idea what the plans are for Dawarich or have ever been and this is solely based on my external view. For me the main differences are:
- visits and trips are our main data, everything else is just the way to calculate them. For Dawarich it looks to me, that it is the other way around. It displays all the location data in good way with the heatmap and so on but visits or places seems so tacked on. This should not be an offense against it. I actually still have an instance running and it was the main pushing point to finally start working on Reitti.
- the sleek UI but this depends on your taste
In the end, they are not that far off. Maybe a matter of taste.

Maybe slightly off-topic, but how did you end up with the name “reitti”? You say you’re German - do you have some sort of tie to the Finnish language?

Oh, i had the idea in mind what i want to create and than it was a matter of a couple of Google queries but in the end one of the LLM suggested a list of different names in foreign languages and reitti somehow sticked 😊
