Live Sharing

One public link for everyone at home, and precise control over what it reveals.

Family and friends want to follow along without installing anything or making an account. The live page is a single read-only link that shows the route, today's stage, progress, elevation profiles and photos β€” with every sensitive field behind its own switch.

Off until you turn it on

Nothing about your trip is public by default. Enabling sharing generates an unguessable token; there is no directory and nothing is indexed.

If even that is too open, add a passcode and the page asks for it before showing anything.

  • Disabled by default.
  • Unguessable link, not a slug someone could try.
  • Optional passcode on top.
  • Revocable β€” turn it off and the link stops working.

Field-level, not all-or-nothing

Sharing your route is not the same as sharing the address of the house you are sleeping in, or what you paid for it. Each of those is a separate switch, and the public read path enforces them server-side rather than just hiding them in the page.

That distinction matters: a hidden field is not sent to the browser at all, so it cannot be recovered by anyone poking at the page.

  • Exact addresses β€” separate switch.
  • Costs and expense balances β€” separate switch.
  • Phone numbers β€” separate switch.
  • Booking references β€” separate switch.
  • Enforced server-side, not hidden client-side.

What followers actually see

A trip header with total progress, a highlighted card for today's stage, the full day list, elevation profiles they can switch between, any tracking links you have added, and the photo gallery.

Progress updates as riders log kilometres, so the page is genuinely live rather than a static itinerary.

  • Today's stage highlighted with distance, climbing and tonight's stay.
  • Elevation profiles, whole trip or per day, with a progress marker.
  • Photo gallery with a lightbox.
  • Tracking links from Garmin, Wahoo and similar.

Good to know

  • The page shows the stage matching the viewer's own local date; a follower in a very different time zone may see the neighbouring day around midnight.
  • There is no live GPS position unless you add an external tracking link.
  • Followers cannot comment or react β€” it is deliberately one-way.
