Ski-mountain meetup solver that picks the optimal rendezvous across a resort, accounting for trail topology, lift wait times, and ability differences. 159 Epic and Ikon mountains supported.
- Dijkstra over an OpenStreetMap trail/lift graph with alpha-weighted lift-wait penalty; lazy-deletion min-heap with lexicographic tie-breaks so two devices converge on identical paths.
- Server-side snapshot pipeline (Overpass + DEM) plus quantized inputs let both clients solve a fingerprint-identical graph without coordinating.
JRNL-iOS
Coming SoonContributor · alichtman/jrnl-ios
Encrypted, git-backed journaling iOS app. Entries are plain text synced through a real git remote.
- Shipped Time Machine, a per-entry commit history browser that reconstructs entry state at each commit via libgit2 blob reads.
- GitProviderForPAT protocol unifies GitHub, GitLab, and self-hosted PAT sign-in behind one Swift interface.
