GridTravel – A community based travel app for users to share routes

In plain words

GridTravel is a free iOS app that lets travelers plan and share walking routes in cities. Users can browse routes created by other travelers, follow them with turn-by-turn GPS navigation, and create their own routes to share or keep private. The app supports collaboration with friends on shared routes and uses Mapbox for navigation and mapping. It's designed for people who want to discover authentic travel paths rather than generic "top places" lists.

Walking routes built by a community of travelers, with the tips you'd only know if you'd been there.

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hey HN, My co-founders and I have been building GridTravel, a free iOS app for planning and sharing travel routes with turn-by-turn GPS nav. We just launched yesterday after App Store approval. We're three 21-year-old cofounders and best friends since middle school. We built GridTravel after years of frustration…

  I made an offline-ready hiking trail companion app2022 · github.com · ▲475

  Hi HN! This is a trail companion web app (think AllTrails) I hacked together in a couple weeks time. I was inspired to create this project while training for an extended backpacking trip. My motivation was to create a UI tailored exactly to my liking, and to be able to track my progress along the trail without draining my battery. I also wanted to experiment with PWA technologies. I successfully used it on my five day adventure along the Knobstone Trail in southern Indiana, and even though it's web-based it hardly consumed any battery life on my old first-gen Pixel XL. It's set up currently…

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
