Hi Jolly, that is an awesome question, and I did not give it much thought. At the moment, there is no search on that data. Even displaying it is hard since you have to open the dialog again.

Right now, it is more like a “gathering phase.” You can collect the data, and we will figure out how this can be used. My main motivation, and I repeat myself for the last three major releases, is to enhance the memories feature with more context. Maybe, if the technique ever becomes feasible for the average homelab, we could generate more personal memories by incorporating some local LLM with the additional information of the tags and descriptions. This currently breaks because there is no single multilingual LLM that works well.

But I like the idea of searching through that data. This could be a nice addition; feel free to create a discussion on GitHub. I really like having multiple views on these topics. The device feature would not have existed if there had been no discussion about it. I always refused it before because it would not fit.

Since the data there is really open and quite free in its structure, I already have some ideas, like putting the songs I heard through Plex, scrobbled through MultiScrobble, into Reitti. That way, I could see what I listened to at that moment. For whatever reason, that sounds like an awesome idea, maybe for a side show when creating a memory of our trips.

Thank you for your kind words. That really warms my heart. 🙏

Give it a try. As an avid timeline user in the past (before the major hiccup last year), I am proud to say that in my experience it works even better than Google Timeline, which, to be honest, I never thought I’d be able to say out loud. Last time I checked, the new timeline was a disaster.

I try to be active on both. Reddit has the reach, but I like the vibe of this community on Lemmy. It is so much calmer and friendlier.

Over the last year, the community came up with some awesome ideas I incorporated into Reitti. It is easy to miss some of them. I try to add as much documentation as possible, but it is, on one side, hard to anticipate how users search for features and, on the other, not to miss some of them over time. Maybe it is a good idea to take some time and add all missing stuff since I am wrapping up the 5.0 release.

If I remember correctly, data sharing came as a suggestion on my first post here on Lemmy. Over the last year, I refined that, and now users on the same instance can share their data. You are even able to connect to users on other instances of Reitti and finally share your data via magic links.

I am really thankful for all the support Reitti gets, and the ideas of our users make a difference in how it is coming along.

Dev of reitti here 👋

Reitti allows sharing data like live location between users. If you use the owntracks app, you would even see all users, which share their location woth you, directly in the app.

Else you can see them in reitti directly with their latest known location.
