Wanderer - federated trail database (komoot etc)

Thank you for posting this!

Reading Josh Meissner’s article about the acquisition of bike route sharing app Komoot has reinforced the importance of promoting and fostering community-owned services.

I’m not sure how to reach the owners of the https://furtherheights.com/ instance of wanderer, but visiting their website results in a 1033 error. The next instance I tried (https://trails.tchncs.de/) works as expected, though!

Omg, love this so much! Fuck all those other trails apps that take your data and then still charge a huge amount.

Yoooo how did I not know there’s a federated and polished Strava alternative!?

There is also https://wandrer.earth/ (not federated) that is really cool. It gives you points for each unique mile you have been, encourages you to explore new places.
