I recently wrote an article to cover the new features and fixes I've been working on over the past two months or so! ridi.bike/articles/upd...
In short:
- Residential areas
- No-go areas
- Score calculation improvements
- Motorways rules
- Round trip improvements

hey @ssnd292.bsky.social, been hard at work fixing the round-trip generation. now it should in most areas generates a route, it just takes a while. would be awesome to hear your thoughts on the generated routes! :)

I've also addressed some of the app usability issues you've highlighted, thanks! 🙏

Getting much better at riding sand! Luckily ridi.bike helps me find roads to practise on!

got into a fight with a sandy hill the other day, himmy was a champ and we eventually pulled through!

Today on another mini adventure powered by app.ridi.bike again! Good news/bad news - managed to get myself out of sand but ended up in a military installation while there was active training happening... Probably need to fix that 😂

Been enjoying the routes app.ridi.bike generates so much that I want more riders to experience these mini-adventures so I've enabled 5 free route downloads for every registered user!

Right Motorcycle lovers and #motosky fans alike, following a gentle prod from a few folk (thank you especially @tim1964.bsky.social!) I have now setup a gofundme for what I highly suspect is the payout amount on my now written off motorcycle.

Didn't think I'd get up there but the Himalayan even on awful tires does not let down!

The route app.ridi.bike generated was a lot of fun yesterday! Turns out you don't need to worry about being wet and dirty if you are wet and dirty!

Decided that rain will not keep still! A simple trip to get the bike from winter storage turned into a mini adventure thanks to app.ridi.bike. Super happy the app managed to find really nice roads even in my boring area!

Testing my #motorcycle route generation app in Crete was so cool, found so many wonderful places! So excited for weather to get better to test it at home as well!

I made new friends while testing app.ridi.bike in Greece.

Didn't even know Crete had roads like this but my Ridi App managed to lead me here, it was magical...

I've had to fix really odd bugs while building app.ridi.bike - turns out OSM data sometimes is weird. I had a bug where the router would run out of memory and crash and, after a night of debugging, turns out it was a dirt #motorcycle track in Latvia that had an entry but did not have an exit. whoops

Been hard at work turning my open source #motorcycle routing tool github.com/tomsjansons/... into a usable app at app.ridi.bike ! Been quite a journey with lots of interesting twists and turns. Excited for people to try it out!

For the past year I've been working on a GPS routing engine for when I want to go out for a ride on my motorcycle. Been an interesting journey to learn rust, super excited to see if anyone finds it useful github.com/tomsjansons/...
