Yes! This is exactly the niche I'm trying to solve.
You mentioned 4 or 5 different routing considerations I'd never have been able to predict. And I'm sure anyone you ask could add another couple to the list.
I'm hoping that Eki Bright hits that sweet spot between too much and too little creative freedom in helping the user solve the problem of getting from A to B in the way that works best for them.
- 1propionyl 2y agoThe 80/20 affordance set to me is something like: - I can break a route into segments. - Segments modes can be chosen, or the fastest (or some other metric) one is computed. - Segment routes might be manually entered (waypoints) or computed. - Arbitrary sequences of segments can be strung together, whether automatic or manual. - Can ask for a whole trip to be computed to start, and then "sculpt" it by splitting it into segments I can modify (manually override, change modes, etc). Maybe one day I'll try to whip something up that matches what seems would work to me. I get the sense this kind of tool might be like knowledge management tools where there's no one size fits all solution.
