What it does

VeloPin is a route planner built for riders who want to know what they're actually getting into: it checks road surface so you can pick the right tyres, finds resupply stops with opening hours, times your start around the weather, and makes sure every waypoint you set actually arrives on your Wahoo, Garmin, Hammerhead or COROS. Fully supported countries: DE, AT, CH, LI, FR, BE, NL, LU, IT, DK, GB, IE, PT, ES, AU

VeloPin plans your route, finds the right stops, times your start around the weather, and gets every waypoint onto your Wahoo, Garmin, Hammerhead or COROS.

Map your stops, time your start around the weather, and get every waypoint onto your Wahoo, Garmin, Hammerhead or COROS - exactly as you set it up. In your browser, free. VeloPin finds cafés, water sources, and fuel within reach of your route and tells you which are open when you'll arrive. Never bonk. Never detour for a closed café. Ride Radar forecasts rain, headwind, and daylight along your actual route - not a city average - and picks the departure time that dodges the worst. Right stops. Right window. Maximum tailwind. What you plan is what you get. Not a generic purple pin - the right icon, the right name, the right note, on your Wahoo, Garmin, Hammerhead or COROS. The only tool that…from velopin.bike

    Hi HN! I'm an avid cyclist who took the leap a few months ago to quit my job and focus 100% on building VeloPlanner – a tool I wished existed for my own cycling adventures. VeloPlanner helps cyclists plan routes by prioritizing official, signposted cycling paths across Europe, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. What makes this different: - Focus on official cycling routes rather than just shortest path algorithms - Comprehensive POI integration (campings, hotels, attractions) - Detailed surface information (asphalt, gravel, forest trails) This is a solo founder project that I'm now…

    Bike route planner that follows almost only official bike trails2024 · trailimap.com · ▲279

    Hey guys, I built a route planner that is mostly focused on bike touring and using existing bike infrastructure. For each request you're shown what bike tracks/trails your route uses and can further explore them by showing them on map or going to the official trail route. The main idea for the app is to have a friendly and easy to use planner that would make heavy use of official bike trails data (mainly from OpenStreetMap) and make it easy to plan a longer trip using the best possible bike routes out there. Currently the app only works for the Euro region but I'm planning to add North…

    I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

    Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  • A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

    Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
