nomad(hubb)

🙋Hi PH! I'm Steph and I'm new to the maker scene, but I'm so excited to be here. 💡After nomading for 2+ years, I wanted a tool that organized all digital nomad retreats in a simple way, that inspired others to try them and start working remotely. The problem was.... I had no clue how to code. So, back in February, I set out on a very rocky mission to learn full-stack development, which I've very candidly tracked here. 😬9 months and many excuses later, I finally focused in August and built my vision of a "hubb" for both promads and noobmads, where they can happily explore trips, draw inspiration, and get a glimpse into how this space is growing! 😍I specifically wanted a tool that aligned with how people tend to make decisions when choosing a retreat: location, timing, and length. - Have a month of unplanned travels open? Sort by date. - Always wanted to go to India? Dying to see Africa? Search by location or continent. - Planning on really taking the plunge? Check out 3+ month options like Remote Year. - Taking your business to the next level? Find specialized trips like coding bootcamps or trips that give back. - Looking for flexible options? These businesses offer coliving on-demand. - Hoping to meet hundreds of other nomads? Check out remote-focused events. 👩‍🚀So, here is nomad(hubb)! Through this project, I’ve developed a love for coding and a deeper appreciation for the nomad community. Also, big thank you to @marie_dm_ for setting up the Women Make community. 🙏Let me know what you think, including retreats or features you'd add! I'd love to hear feedback from everyone.

I was genuinely surprised at how easy it was to find an amazing place to work out of for a month. As someone with 0 experience as a digital nomad I always thought it was really difficult to organize but I'm kind of blown away by how easy you've made this step. It's never something I thought I would consider but I will definitely be coming back to this site to window-shop until I finally work up the courage to do it :)

Pros:

Clearly well thought out and based in experience. Very approachable to people like me with little/no experience as a digital nomad

Cons:

Would like to see the price info like the 'Top Trips' have for all trips

I will definitely be using this in the future :)

Pros:

a simple yet useful tool, you can find a large variety of retreats, prices visible

Cons:

the search and filter UX could be improved (I'm not sure how to word it but I'd love to see a search interface similar to air bnb)

Love the filters, being able to see a variety of options within the parameters I'm thinking of rather than having to Google specifics and search through everything myself!

Pros:

really easy to use, nice and clean site - love the filters!

Cons:

I'd love it if the site gave a brief overview of each rather than going directly to the site

For those among us more visual, the location filter could show trips on a map. Perhaps in future iterations. Regardless, love the tool!

Pros:

Love the overall design; it has clear purpose with easy UI and appealing stylistic choices. Easy to access the exact info you need.

Cons:

Would love to have info about the trips on the site before jumping offsite

Congrats @stephsmith! I was looking at the retreat in Peru - Unleash surf. I didn't know it existed.

Simple & Intuitive

Pros:

Visually appealing design that is easy to navigate. Filters for the different programs are also clear and easy to use.

Cons:

It would be nice to have brief descriptions of the different programs before being directed to the websites.
