Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Kei, a solo indie maker from Tokyo. HONTABI started with a simple frustration: every time I finished a great novel, I wanted to visit where it happened — but there was no way to find it. Murakami's Tokyo. Hemingway's Paris. Joyce's Dublin. The settings were scattered across the web in fragments. So I built the app I wanted: 📖 1,000+ novels mapped to 4,000+ real-world locations 🗺️ AI-generated walking routes for half-day literary pilgrimages 🔍 Reverse search: "What novels are set in Kyoto?" 📍 Check-in to spots — your literary world map lights up as you travel ✅ 100% free, no sign-up, no ads It's especially built for: - Readers who feel "I want to go there" after closing a book - Travelers who want to read the literature of places they visit - Anyone who wants reading and travel to feed each other I'd love your feedback — especially on which authors or cities you'd want next. Happy to answer anything in the comments today!
