Building a travel social app to prove everyone my alltrails is no fake

📍California
Pinned
I lost travel inspiration so i built an app that gives me random places to visit

It gives me points for that as well

I couldn’t be happier
Very often i get more value from talking to an uber driver than from tech events

The most golden product hunt launches are not among the top 10. But among the top 20-50

Sometimes you think oh wow they do so well on instagram

And then you find their posts sponsored in your feed

First 30 minutes after posting a reel:

“Bro, this is blowing up! Views are going crazy!”

30 minutes later:

“Wait… why did it just stop??”

The first thing you should try for your startup is reels.

Its free and its good.

Just make memes with your product, thats it

The most challenging part of a startup is to keep pushing every day.

Some days you just want to do nothing.

But hey gotta keep pushing

I hate reddit mods

My next challenge was visiting Tilden Regional Park

I was able to confirm my gps location while passing it by in bart while commuting to work

Thats how you discover all the cheating ways 😂

This moment when you get the first tester.

And they travel to a random place in California to earn 30 points

While you only got 4 from a local trip 🤣

Deploying my app to Google Play:

Hour 1-3: Google reviews it

Me after: discovers localhost URLs everywhere

Hour 4-6: starts review process again

What is this review process even for lmao

Heck yeah, answered my first call.

Earned 4 points.

Feel strong 💪

Ngl running a marathon is easier than publishing an app on Google Play

Got a badge by accidentally logging the same workout twice

Dont expect this happen from Odisey lol

About to launch our app today when it hit us: we have zero support options ready 😅

Indie hackers, what’s your go-to mobile app support tool?

Or should we just put our email/bsky for contact?
January 11, 2025 at 12:16 AM
Finally putting the landing page up.

What would you guys change?

My secret to launch features 1 week ahead the deadline

🎉 Just launched the location generator page!

Here's what I rolled for this weekend. Now I have 7 days to go there and take a picture.

Rate the design: 1-10?

Spent the day at hot springs with my partner.

These bastards didn’t have phones allowed

But ngl, It felt like hitting the reset button on life.

How come adding in app payment is so freaking hard

{Okay so this is my 3rd week writing react daily.

And here's my question.

Why the hell there're so many curly braces}

Day 19 since the first commit:

• 80% of the app is DONE.
• Random location generator was way harder than expected (turns out AI doesn't do random 😂).

App Store launch by Jan 7th is looking real

Little afternoon hike before I push another feature
