Hi Product Hunt,
I'm very proud to launch my first project. I used to build WordPress themes, but I realized I want to do something else. I wanted to build an app that gives people value and which is used on a daily basis. Something that I would use myself, too. An app where I can learn new skills and just try things out. There were a lot of things I didn't do before, but that's what made it so fun to build. Learning new skills you need right now and not in a distant future.
So this was my idea behind the project:
Last summer I was driving with a van trough Europe and searched for a good website to find free camping spots. But not only free camping spots, I also wanted to know where I can find wild spots where I can stay for free even if I could get a fine. And why not include toilets and showers also.
I wanted to build an web app which is beautiful, easy to use and has all information in one place. All spots should provide images so you can see where are you heading to. I just wanted to find the most beautiful places worldwide and help others to find them, too. I didn’t find any website that covers my needs. So I started to build my own. And here it is!
Let me know what you think! 🤙
@derkinzi Thanks man! Yes, thought about it. But then I wouldn't have any images for those spots. I thought, if you don't know how a spot looks like why should someone drive all the way to just find out this spot is not good at all. But you are right, I need definitely more spots.
@gola99 I see. Maybe you can make them designed like "2nd class" spots, so it's obvious to the user that they are not curated by this community. However, I think this would give you a head start as it would make the app a lot more useful instantly. And it definitely deserves that. All existing websites/apps look and feel like 90ies webdesign. The #vanlife movement deserves better ;)
