Comment on Reitti v2.0.0: Introducing Memories – Transforming Your Location Data into Personal Stories

  Let me know how it went. Only had an iPhone laying around to test it for a couple of minutes. Overland seems to be a really nice app. Shame the android version is non existing anymore

    I used it all day and the Overland integration is excellent. I was tracked pretty much all the time. I need to see how it impacts the battery, but that’s more on the Overland side.

    I see that there’s a way of using URLs to setup Overland, that could be a nice addition to have a QR code right next to each method, if they support custom URLs.

    I also created a new API token for this new application, and I see that the integration page seems to take the last generated token for all the URLs, maybe it could be nice, in case of multiple tokens, to allow the selection of a specific token, application per application, or even try to match an application with a token with the same name.

      Hi @SKBo, thank you for the hint with the auto configuration. Today I had a look and all three apps support it in a way or another. I added it to the v2.4.0 release. I am really excited about that feature and just wanted to say thank you for pointing this out.

        Wow! That’s awesome! I’m looking forward to install, try and use this new version.

        Thanks a lot for this great app.

        That’s really cool, the Memories sorting options are super useful!

        I noticed some bugs on the new features, as well as some older bugs, though:

        1. when I’m on the transportation modes setting page, there’s a new settings entry that appeared on the menu on the left, “Manage data”, but when I open it, it shows a 500 server error.
        2. still on the transportation modes setting page, the different modes are correctly translated in the “Add Transportation Mode” panel drop-down, but they seem to use the English terminology in the table, as well as on the statistics pages.
        3. regarding the token selection on the application integration page, the URL doesn’t seem to change on the descriptions, even if it’s correctly set with the “Autoconfigure” buttons.
        4. and finally, it’s more of a feature request than a bug, the “Autoconfigure” buttons are a nice way for user onboarding on the same device. A QR code allows new users to use Reitti on a computer, and just point with their phone when they want it configured.
        5. as a side note, this integration app page may feel a bit cluttered now that there’s more applications. I don’t know if the addition of a drop-down/option list for the application you want to integrate, and that would show only the application custom settings would be easier to apprehend for new users.

      That sounds good.

      I added requests on Github for both of your points. The second one will be added, on the first one I need to check how much benefit we get out of it. It would improve the onboarding a lot, but then this is only a one time task.

      Thank you for the feedback. I really appreciate that.
