Show HN: Routing24 - Free route optimization in the browser
Hi HN! I built Routing24 to make route optimization easier and
accessible for small businesses and solo drivers. With Google
Maps, you can plan routes between a few locations for free, but it
doesn't support efficient multi-stop planning, handling multiple
vehicles, or adding specific business rules like delivery time
windows. Many tools offer route optimization for around $30 per
vehicle per month, but Routing24 provides it completely free.
Optimization happens fully on the client-side, using your device's
resources instead of cloud servers. The interface is simple for
now: you can import/export using Excel, and there's a web UI to
edit and view imported data and optimized routes. Data is saved or
uploaded anywhere, and one browser tab runs one optimization. Map
data comes from OpenStreetMap, and the solver is built in C++/WASM,
using public domain algorithms. I'd love to hear any feedback as I
keep developing it. Thanks, and I hope it's useful!

| By the way Routing24 works on mobile, optimizing when offline
| too. It's just the current app is designed for desktop and
| route planners. Solver itself works on any 5 y.o. brick with
