Show HN: I made an offline-ready hiking trail companion app

Hi HN! This is a trail companion web app (think AllTrails) I hacked together in a couple weeks time. I was inspired to create this project while training for an extended backpacking trip. My motivation was to create a UI tailored exactly to my liking, and to be able to track my progress along the trail without draining my battery. I also wanted to experiment with PWA technologies. I successfully used it on my five day adventure along the Knobstone Trail in southern Indiana, and even though it's web-based it hardly consumed any battery life on my old first-gen Pixel XL. It's set up currently to support a single trail, where the trail and trail markers are deployed with the rest of the app. So it's single-use in that way. For future trips, I can simply swap out the GPX files and deploy. I am releasing it with an open source license in case

anyone wants to use it as a boilerplate to create their own.
