Hi Hunters! 👋 I’m Alejandro, the solo maker behind Yatavi. I built Yatavi because I was frustrated that every decent travel planner out there hides basic features behind an expensive monthly subscription. With Yatavi, you can manage and visualize every detail of your adventure in one streamlined platform. 🎒 Everything in your pocket: • Real-time weather forecasts for your destinations. • Smart schedule management & time alerts. • Interactive integrated maps with turn-by-turn routing. 💸 Budgeting abroad: • Real-time automatic currency conversions. • Expense tracking in local and foreign currencies without the math headache. 🏆 Gamification (Rankets & Tierlist): Planning is just the beginning. Complete trips to rank up on our Global Tierlist and compete to become the #1 traveler in the community. 🔋 A fair, user-respecting model: I wanted to keep it completely free. You can access all premium features via an "Energy" system sustained by voluntary rewarded ads. No forced paywalls, no background location tracking, and no spammy notifications. This is version 1.0 and I'd love your brutal feedback. What features would you like to see next? Thank you! ✈️

I replaced paywalls with an "Energy" system in my travel app. Is this a good idea?

Hey everyone!

I'm a solo dev launching my first app, Yatavi, tonight. I built it because I was frustrated that every decent travel planner charges an expensive monthly subscription just to use basic maps or add multiple stops.

I decided to make Yatavi completely free without forced paywalls. Instead, I implemented an "Energy" system (similar to mobile games). Users can access all premium features by watching a voluntary rewarded ad to refill their energy.

Since this community knows a lot about SaaS and app monetization, I d love your honest observations and feedback.
