Hi Product Hunt 👋

I built LaplandVibes after a road trip around Finnish Lapland this autumn. Everywhere I went, visitors asked the same three things: will we see the northern lights tonight, is anything open, and how do I get a taxi here?

The answers existed, just scattered across a dozen sites and mostly in Finnish. So the app puts them in one place:

🌌 Aurora viewing conditions hour by hour (darkness + cloud cover + NOAA's Kp forecast), with a link to the Finnish Meteorological Institute's live magnetometer map for whether the aurora is actually active

🍽️ 490 restaurants, cafés and bars in 40 towns, with what's open right now

🚕 Local taxis, pharmacies, road conditions and every emergency number

🌍 12 languages, works in the browser, nothing to install

It's free for travellers. It's funded by commissions on accommodation and activity booking links, which don't change the price you pay.

It's young, and some data will be wrong. If you spot a closed place, wrong hours or a missing village, tell me here. I read everything and fix what's broken
