  • :nerd_face: reorganize all javascript into StimulusJS controllers - there are bugs that I’m already finding here :cold_sweat: I’m sorry! I’m working on 'em!
  • :world_map: allow highway=track type streets

update I reverted these changes because my database was fully saturated … checked in on it this morning (Oct 24) & it was still hosed :thinking: and after some research, found a ton of web connections to the database all trying to get activity data (you all run too much, so this can be an expensive query) :man_shrugging: I don’t know why they existed, yet, but clearing them out has restored sanity to the database. I’ll try another deploy later…
