Hello everyone! I am the developer of an application for planning water/sea routes. The application is completely free and created for people, there is no commercial basis.
I would like to share it with users, maybe someone will like it. How can I do this so that I am not banned for spam? I posted the app on Github.
Thanks

You have a lot of work to do to make this a viable route planner. The route you show is possible if the boat is capable of navigating across a beach and a heavily develop commercial and residential area. The chart isn't a navigation chart, it appears to be a simple road map totally inadequate for marine navigation.

There are several commercial products, Aquamaps, Navionics, and Navico that offer auto route planning that actually use navigation charts and those programs often have problems with the routes they develop. Why would anyone want to use yours?

I like boats and everything related to them. I understand perfectly well that my program is not at all a competitor to commercial products. I just like programming, and in my spare time, I wrote a simple route planner to improve my skills. It also takes into account the size of the boat and the wind when calculating the route. I don't pretend to be a very useful or irreplaceable project. In addition to calculating the route, you can view information about any port and the weather at the selected point. Maybe it will be useful to someone, that's all. I'm not going to promote it or earn any money. I just want to share)

The route setting function itself is performed by the user by specifying the start/end points, as well as clicking on the map to add intermediate points.

Does it give an eta based on current speed?
Not right now, but you can easily add this feature with the next update. I would like to get at least some feedback on the current version to know what useful things can be changed or added.
