Jonah Brüchert ☛ New countries in KDE Itinerary
Lithuania and Latvia
Caused by a small discussion about how it is difficult to get from Berlin to Riga by train, and in direct consequence a quick look at how the official app for trains in Latvia finds its connections, I added support for it in KDE Itinerary. KDE Itinerary is KDE’s travel planning app.
After I understood how it works, adding support for new data sources seemed pretty doable, so I directly moved on to do the same for trains in Lithuania as well.
As a result of this, it is now possible to travel from Berlin to Riga with Itinerary and continue further with the local trains there:
The connection is still far from good, but fear I can’t fix that in software.
