After one month of development I want to present a short update on the progress of Reitti. We will start with a short introduction for the ones which do not know about it.

What is Reitti?

Reitti is a personal location tracking application designed to help users rediscover their movement patterns and revisit meaningful places from their past. The project focuses on transforming raw location data into accessible personal memories. As someone with aphantasia (inability to visualize memories), the Immich integration has been particularly valuable for me. Being able to see photos from specific locations and dates helps tremendously in reconstructing and remembering past experiences.

New Features

• custom tiles server support added
• added "Shared Instance" integration. This allows you to display the timeline data of other users. Even on other instances of Reitti. Perfect to connect with your friends and family. This feature supersedes the "Connected Accounts" feature and replaces it.
• we have added OIDC Support to the login. You can now connect Reitti to your Provider and benefit from having to log in only once.
• there is now a Live-Update Mode. This refreshes the map as soon as new data arrives
• in companion to the Live-Update Mode, we also added full-screen functionality to have Reitti displayed in all its glory.
• every user can now select his home location in the settings. This is used when displaying a day without any data.

Upcoming Features

Here are some ideas I will tackle next.

• Replay Mode - Watch your day unfold step by step with animated playback of your movements
• Long Distance Trip Enhancement - Improved UI specifically designed for viewing cross-country travels and extended journeys
• Multi-Day Selection - Select and analyze patterns across multiple days simultaneously
• Enhanced Statistics - Expanded stats section with more meaningful insights and fun discoveries about your movement patterns

Hey everyone!

I'm excited to introduce Reitti, a location tracking and analysis application designed to help you gain insights about your movement patterns and significant places—all while keeping your data private on your own server.

Core Capabilities:

• Visit Tracking: Automatically recognizes and categorizes the places where you spend time, using customizable detection algorithms
• Trip Analysis: Analyzes your movements between locations to understand how you travel whether by walking, cycling, or driving
• Interactive Timeline: Visualizes all your past activities on an interactive timeline with map and list views that show visit duration, transport method, and distance traveled

Photo Integration:

• Connect your self-hosted Immich photo server to seamlessly display photos taken at specific locations right within Reitti's timeline. The interactive photo viewer lets you browse galleries for each place.

Data Import Options:

• Multiple Formats Supported: Reitti can import existing location data from GPX, GeoJSON, and Google Takeout (JSON) backups
• (Near) Real-time Updates: Automatically receive location info via mobile apps like OwnTracks, GPSLogger or our REST API

Customization:

• Multi-geocoding Services: Configurable options to convert coordinates to human-readable addresses using providers like Nominatim
• User Profiles: Customize individual display names, password management, and API token security under your own control

Self-hosting:

• Reitti is designed to be deployed on your own infrastructure using Docker containers. We provide configuration templates to set up linked services like PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ and Redis that keep all your location data private.

Reitti is still early in development but has already developed extensive capabilities. I'd love to hear your feedback and answer any questions to tailor Reitti to meet the community's needs.

Hope this sparks some interest!
