Van Secrets

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! 🤙

Love the design of this. Congrats on the launch! Has been cool seeing you build this over the last few months 🙌

This looks beautiful, well done! Have you thought about hooking in other sources to have a few more spots initially?

Could you tell more about tech stack you used here?

I remember you had posted the project on IndieHackers couple of months ago. Great progress! I wish you many happy users.

This is awesome @gola99, I like the simple layout that lets you easily see what's round in every country, and how easy it is to add new spots. One cool addition in future could be -- when you click on the wild spot and the profile pops up, it also includes best times of year to go based on weather / how busy it is 🚐 🏕

Nice idea!!!!! Congrats with launch!!!!
