Sounds interesting, but I (and I suppose others reaching the landing page might be as well) was discouraged to check it out because it requires me to sign up to learn more.

Yeah I agree, haven't get around that part yet since the auth part is handled by 3rd party (InstantDB). However you can use throwaway email service and it accepts that too

It feels like everyone the past few years have been using Japanese for their side apps. I think this can lead to confusion. on the other hand, if you add some more social elements it could be fun, theres a few apps that allow people to upload places and hotspots too so its more community driven, but also thats kinda instagram too.

Haha thanks! Yeah might be a good idea if there are lots of usage, but for now it's mostly me and close friends so not much yet

Photo sharing is a good idea I think. I have family who do RVing and they use some app that lets them privately share their gallery. It’s cool to see where they are and what they are doing as they move around the country.

A gallery with a read-only private link would suffice.

I would definitely recommend adding example images directly to the main page, along with the link to the example trip. Otherwise there's nothing really to draw users in to using if they have to go searching for how the experience looks like.

Thanks for your suggestion! I was hesitant at first cause it was under heavy development so anything I put there on main page might get outdated very soon. I'll add them very soon~

My current 'favorite idea I probably won't build' is an sms chat bot that does exactly this for guys in their 30s & 40s. The hard part is actually organizing the group of friends to pick a weekend and location. So a bot that can help with all of that first, is really compelling for me.

OP, let me know if you want to do a user group trying to help us organize a trip.
