Show HN: AdventureLog – I Learned Full-Stack Dev Making a Self-Hosted Travel App

3 points

2 years ago

AdventureLog started as my first attempt at full-stack development. From React and national parks datasets to learning Svelte and Django, it’s been a journey of discovery. I’ve learned more from building this project than any tutorial. If you’re an aspiring developer, I highly recommend picking a project and diving in. It may seem overwhelming at first but you will soon learn how to use resources and documentation to make something you could never imagine was possible. Tutorials are great, but nothing compares to the challenge of creating something from scratch.

INTRO AdventureLog is the ultimate travel companion for the modern-day explorer. With AdventureLog, you can log your travels, plan trips collaboratively, and share experiences — all in one app.

FEATURES - Track Your Adventures : Capture every trip and visualize your travels on an interactive world map. - Plan Your Next Trip : Build and customize itineraries effortlessly with an intuitive planner. - Share Your Experiences : Collaborate with friends, share photos, and relive your favorite memories together.

OPEN SOURCE AND SELF HOSTED - GPL-3.0 License - Self-hostable with docker and other common methods

WHY ADVENTURELOG? AdventureLog was created to solve a problem: the lack of a modern, open-source, user-friendly travel companion. Many existing travel apps are either too complex, too expensive, or too closed-off to be useful for the average traveler. AdventureLog aims to be the opposite: simple, beautiful, and open to everyone.
