TrailSense, an easy to use, comprehensive wilderness tool.

The goals of the developer are fun to consider:

Goals

  • Trail Sense must not use the Internet in any way, as I want the entire app usable when there is no Internet connection

  • Features must provide some benefits to people using the app while hiking, in a survival situation, etc.

  • Features should make use of the sensors on a phone rather than relying on stored information such as guides

  • Features must be based on peer-reviewed science or be verified against real world data

Likewise, the features being developed under those goals are great for getting outside:

Features

  • Designed for hiking, backpacking, camping, and geocaching
  • Place beacons and navigate to them
  • Follow paths
  • Retrace your steps with backtrack
  • Use a photo as a map
  • Plan what to pack
  • Be alerted before the sun sets
  • Predict the weather
  • Use your phone for astronomy
  • And more

VSCodium is the open source part of VSCode, so I prefer to use that.

Mull is firefox on android without the proprietary parts. Heliboard is a good android keyboard.

Jitsi - Open-source and self-hosted video conference platform. You can even try it directly on their website.

IPFS - A distributed file sharing technology which is wonderful for file or site hosting (edit: wether it is uncensorable is open for debate)

Rust - A programming language and a powerful compiler that creates compiled memory-safe programs and can be used nearly everywhere

Fedora + KDE - A combination of a stable modern OS and a complete desktop environment

Wine - launch Windows programs on the latter

Love me some Jitsi. The app, and website, make it easy to just start a secure, anonymous call with pals. No weird AI models running in the background like Teams or Zoom.
