Audio-first driving tours for the American road. Point it at a route and it tells you the real stories of the places you are passing, timed to where you are, so you learn the history without ever leaving the highway.
Live app: https://00ainick-cmd.github.io/wayside/
Three pilot routes ship today: Garden of the Gods (real GPS coordinates), Idaho Springs, and Fraser, Colorado. Twenty-two stories, each one fact-checked before it ships, with period photographs that carry caption, date, source, and license on every frame.
- Narration is never for sale. No sponsor ever buys a story.
- Partner placements are always labeled, and current ones are pilot demonstrations.
- No invented facts, quotes, or photo subjects. Every claim is verified; disputed claims are hedged in the narration itself.

touches web/ or scripts/.
Story photographs live in web/assets/images/ with credits in
web/credits.json, rendered on every story. The wayside-vendor-images
workflow re-downloads all of them from their verified sources and commits;
scripts/verify-images.sh re-checks that every source is still live.
Every push to main that touches web/ redeploys GitHub Pages via the
wayside-pages workflow. The site root is web/.
