Most contributors don't need HTTPS=1 locally — plain HTTP is the
default and the right choice for everything except Wahoo OAuth
callback testing. WebAuthn (passkeys), magic links, sessions, the
Terms gate, SSE all work over HTTP because the WebAuthn spec treats
localhost as a secure context regardless of scheme. CI proves the
point: the e2e suite runs over plain HTTP and passes cleanly.
The original HTTPS=1 plumbing landed in

trails.cool
Collaborative route planning and federated activity sharing for outdoor enthusiasts.
Planner — Plan routes together in real-time. Share a link, invite friends, edit waypoints collaboratively. Powered by BRouter for intelligent routing with elevation awareness.
Journal — Track your adventures. Import activities from Garmin, Strava, or Wahoo. Share routes and rides with friends. Self-host your own instance and federate with others via ActivityPub.
Status
Early development. See the architecture plan and project philosophy.

Getting Started
Prerequisites: Node.js 20+, pnpm, Docker
# Clone
git clone https://github.com/trails-cool/trails.git
cd trails
# Install dependencies
pnpm install
# Start development (apps only, no database or routing)
pnpm dev
# Start full stack (PostgreSQL + BRouter + apps)
pnpm dev:full
Full Local Dev Setup
pnpm dev:full starts everything needed to test the Planner end-to-end:
- PostgreSQL + PostGIS on port 5432 (via Docker)
- BRouter routing engine on port 17777 (via Docker)
- Database schema pushed automatically via Drizzle
- BRouter segment downloaded for Berlin area (~124MB, cached)
- Journal on http://localhost:3000
- Planner on http://localhost:3001
Other useful commands:
pnpm dev:services # Start Docker services only (DB + BRouter)
pnpm db:push # Push database schema changes
pnpm db:studio # Open Drizzle Studio (DB browser)
Development Tools
This project uses AI-assisted, spec-driven development. See docs/tooling.md for details.
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
| cmux | Native macOS terminal for running multiple AI coding sessions |
| Claude Code | AI coding assistant (primary development tool) |
| GitHub Copilot | AI coding assistant |
| Crit | Browser-based inline code review |
| OpenSpec | Spec-driven development workflow |
Self-Hosting
The Journal is designed to be self-hosted. A single Docker Compose file gets you running:
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/trails-cool/trails/main/infrastructure/docker-compose.yml
docker compose up -d
See docs/architecture.md for details on self-hosting configuration.
Philosophy
- Privacy by design — The Planner collects zero user data
- Data ownership — Export everything, self-host, no lock-in
- Open source — MIT licensed, built on open standards
- Simplicity — Start simple, add complexity only when needed
