From Sept. 2022 to Sept. 2023, I worked with 2 other briliant people on an app to help you go for a walk & explore the world. It was supposed to have social sharing at some point too, but we never got there, the project got wrapped due to cofounder conflict and lack of resources.
While I will need some time to figure out my next steps, I retain full copyright on the source code written during that year, and decided to share it instead of binning it.
It's capable of quite a few cool things:
- tuned & optimized background geolocation tracking
- fully on-device data processing (except for snap-to-road feature) of location history to revealed fog of war and traced walk path,
- high-def geometry-based fog of war
- scrappy web-engine based multithreading solution
If you're curious, feel free to dig around!
This is a basic managed expo app, and there are a few scripts in package.json that should help you find your way.
You need to provide your own secrets to access the map through Mapbox and provide support for other map services like snap-to-road path tracing. Copy the .env.example file to .env and set them up there.
