Why

The Planner at planner.trails.cool should work as a standalone product — anyone can visit, understand what it does, and start planning a route without needing the Journal. Currently the home page is a blank heading with no explanation and no way to start. Visitors bounce immediately.

What Changes

  • Replace the Planner home page with a landing page that explains the tool: collaborative route planning, BRouter routing, GPX export, no account needed
  • Prominent "Start Planning" CTA that creates a new session
  • Brief feature highlights (collaborative editing, routing profiles, elevation, GPX export)
  • Footer with links to trails.cool Journal, privacy page, GitHub repo
  • The landing page should load fast — no heavy assets, SSR-friendly

Capabilities

New Capabilities

(None — this replaces an existing page with useful content.)

Modified Capabilities

  • planner-session: Home page becomes a landing page with session creation CTA
  • map-display: Landing page may show a decorative map or screenshot

Impact

  • Files: apps/planner/app/routes/home.tsx (complete rewrite), i18n keys
  • Dependencies: None
  • Design: Needs to look good — this is the first impression for standalone Planner users
