Comment on Reitti v2.0.0: Introducing Memories – Transforming Your Location Data into Personal Stories
skbo@lu.skbo.net 3 weeks agoThat’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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Thanks again for the awesome feedback. Points 1 to 3 are adressed in github.com/dedicatedcode/reitti/…/v2.4.1
For the QR Code, I am not decided right now since you still would have to need to login before getting the the data from the backend. So it would only cut out the open the url and navigate to settings right now.
Yes, I see that it is cluttered atm. I will update that page in the future propably

I’ve found another little bug: in the “Visit Sensitivity” panel, clicking on “Edit”, “Simple”, then “Edit” again adds a layer around the “Edit Configuration” panel.

Another one: on the Edit page of a Memory, changing the header type to Image doesn’t show the URL field right away, you have to save and edit again for it to be available. And the same when the value returns to Map, it needs to be saved for the URL field to disappear.

Ok, yes, I see, but that’s true only for the GPSLogger setup. Both OwnTracks and Overland will extract all the needed information from the link, without needed other access to the server. That’s why I see it as a simpler process: setting everything up on a computer, then once you need to configure your phone, provided you have OwnTracks or Overland already installed, just open the camera app, point, shoot and follow the QR code and you’re all set.
