Hello, that is something I can’t help with. I do not run dawarich anymore since a year or so. Maybe someone can jump in who recently switched and has a fresh look.
Else i can encourage you to spin it up and import a gpx file if possible. You should be able to export the data from dawarich for a day or two and have a look around.

God damit, yes it is weekly. I have a 6y old daughter, time has no meaning to me anymore :D

I just wanted to make a joke that it is enough to put reitti one time into the update section. Then I saw that you also wrote a highlight piece about it ☺️
Thank you very much for that. And also thank you in general for the effort you put in the newsletter. I eagerly waiting every month for it.

Thank you very much for your comment. It means alot to me to hear that reitti is grown to an app others enjoy using :)

Thank you so much for your kind word! This means alot for me.

Ah, thank you for clarifying this. It sounds like AdventurerLog would be a better fit at the moment.
I envision the memories feature could also serve this purpose, generating a travel log from GPS data and pulling in all relevant images from Immich within that timeframe. Currently, it only allows for selecting a start and end date (as it was designed for longer vacations), but there’s no technical limitation preventing time-based selection.
The existing text templates, also geared towards vacations, would likely require some adjustments. One idea I’m exploring is integrating a small LLM to generate more natural and varied text.
If we develop this idea further, I believe reitti could certainly be adapted to your use case.

Thank you. Give it a try and I would love to hear your thoughts

Not on a daily basis or in live. The main focus is in visit detection as best as we can, trips, tracks or trails are all the points between them.
Reitti is mainly developed to bring me easier to my memories. For that Places and Photos helped the most. To list individual tracks there is probably something better suited. But I would be happy to hear your usecase, maybe we can incorporate that into reitti.

Cool, thank you.
Is this url resolvable from the reitti container? That one, needs to access immich.

Yes they all can work together. The data in home assistant should be enough.
Regardind docker or not. There is more instructions in the documentation how to build it from source. You can also run it from the jar. I need to check if this documented right now.
Yes, I try to make as most sense out of the data as possible. It is kind of a velocity matching. There is a settings menu where you can specify the speeds. Actual detecting them is a little bit more complicated since traffic lights etc need to be accounted for. If reitti detects something wrong, you can edit it directly on the timeline and set another transportation mode.

There is a Home Assistant integration by the community. Take a look at the readme, ther is a link to the documentation for that.

This questions comes up every time. I copied the answer i gave the last time at
www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/s/SUjvuDXd3kYes, this comes up most of the time when I post about it. Which is totally understandable since looking at it from the outside, they do the same in the sense of being an alternative to Google Timeline.
I have a vision where Reitti should be heading and this is not the timeline part. It will always be there to look at it, see your movement patterns, your visits and so on. Also the live view part, where you can share your location with others, with other users, instances or via magic link is one essential part which will always be there. Lot of users connect via this to their friends and families which is awesome when Reitti can help with this.
But, the Geo location is only the underlying data we need to create something which helps me (and maybe you) in remembering things. I “suffer” from Aphantasia and I struggle to get to my memories without any external trigger and that is the reason I created Reitti. To have a thing, i can occasionally look at, bring in pictures and emotions back into my knowledge. Where memories is the first step towards that goal.
So, for me this is the main difference between these two. But do not take my words for granted, test them out and take the one you like more. Since I started Reitti 6 months ago (actually a little bit longer) I did not follow on other projects that much and maybe they all converge to the same conclusion.
I am a little bit hesitant in adding a comparison in the Readme since I do not want to compare Reitti with other solutions. What I want more than a comparison is to make the idea behind Reitti clearer so anyone can build its own opinion which one is better suited.
I hope I got my point of view transported. English is not my main language and I did not bothered to let some LLM look over it.
If something needs more explanation, feel free to ask me anything.

Time to level that up and add patois (never heard of it) to reitti 😀 But it is alot of work in keeping the translations aligned to new features and I am overly thankful for anyone who does this.
As I was younger, I could get away with Bulgarian but as you said. If you do not use it, you loose it.

If still available, reitti is able to import Google timeline data obtained via the Google Takeout. Sadly they dropped alot of user data earlier the last year. I was glad I, by accident, fetched it before hand.
Glad you like it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them.

😆 yeah, that would not be that much for a year. Be assured, I get out alot besides the job and working on reitti.
The project is translated using weblate. I started with english (like every developer) and german (which is my main language). One of the LLM then started with finish and french. I do not speak either of these so could not estimate how good this was. French is already re-translated completely by two fellow users using weblate. All other languages where also added there.
It is a good tool but has some quirks when merging is involved. But I could not find anything better. Sometimes I also use it to enhance german, and it is working fine.

Thank your very much for the detailed description. Awesome 👌 I will make these translatable. I will also add an option to select your own color for the paths.
And thank your for the css. Will check it out. I still have the idea of having a gallery of user provided styles with the ability to download them. Maybe that is the start of that :)

I thought i removed the image header fie the time being. Let me fix this and have a new release.
- Comment on Reitti v2.0.0: Introducing Memories – Transforming Your Location Data into Personal Stories 1 month ago:
Thank you for the report. I will create a an issue for this
- Comment on Reitti v2.0.0: Introducing Memories – Transforming Your Location Data into Personal Stories 1 month ago:
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
- Comment on Reitti v2.0.0: Introducing Memories – Transforming Your Location Data into Personal Stories 2 months ago:
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.
- Comment on Reitti v2.0.0: Introducing Memories – Transforming Your Location Data into Personal Stories 2 months ago:
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.
- Comment on Reitti v2.0.0: Introducing Memories – Transforming Your Location Data into Personal Stories 2 months ago:
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
- Comment on Reitti v2.0.0: Introducing Memories – Transforming Your Location Data into Personal Stories 2 months ago:
I just released v2.3.0 with Overland support. Thank you for the hint :)
Reordering Memories will make it into the next version after I have put some thoughts into it.
- Comment on Reitti v2.0.0: Introducing Memories – Transforming Your Location Data into Personal Stories 2 months ago:
thank you for the feedback.
- No, not right now. But this is a good point to add some form of sorting to the overview. I will create a request for it
- Also not right now. But let me add a new integration to reitti. This seems like a reasonable choice. And the more we support, the easier it is to onboard new users.
- Comment on Reitti v2.0.0: Introducing Memories – Transforming Your Location Data into Personal Stories 2 months ago:
Glad I could help and thank you for your feedback.
- Comment on Reitti v2.0.0: Introducing Memories – Transforming Your Location Data into Personal Stories 2 months ago:
Hi Sunny, that is something reitti does not support. It heavily depends on the tracking.
Now, that I finished the memories feature i will add metadata to our Visits and Trips. With this, i have the idea to further enhance the Memories. So, you could tag certain Visits and Trips with data. But not right now.
- Comment on Reitti v2.0.0: Introducing Memories – Transforming Your Location Data into Personal Stories 2 months ago:
Sure, in the Readme you can find a section how to run it from source. It is also possible to just take the app.jar from the release, put a file called application.properties with the needed settings besides it. Then run it with
java -jar app.jarThat should work. I will add a section to the documentation for it. If you need any help, let me know.
- Comment on Reitti v2.0.0: Introducing Memories – Transforming Your Location Data into Personal Stories 2 months ago:
Yes, this is supported
