@christopher_lee4 Thank you for the feedback! We had something else instead of those images a little while ago. Actually the reason why I switched over to this was a bit technical, not design-related. But I think I'll revert my choice after all :)
@davidovic Fair enough, just thought i'd let you know :) By the way if you're looking to gain traction by learning more about your market I have a research service where for $12 you can ask 100 people a question then follow-up based on how they answered and even interview them! https://scoops.io/
You could ask e.g. "Would you pay X to browse city walk paths & attractions that others have posted online?" Anyway If you want to give it a shot feel free to sign up and let me know which email you used over Intercom and I'll pass you $12 in free credits.
Best of luck otherwise!
Hello ProductHunt!
Imagine you're traveling to a new city and need some suggestions from someone who lives there. What's worth visiting? What to avoid?
In response to those questions, a list of 20 great places is useful. But figuring out which of these to visit in a day or two and planning all of that can be exhausting. Additionally, it's easy to miss the hidden neighborhood gems nearby when you're just relying on the fastest route on your mobile maps app.
City walks do away with these problems. Instead of a list of places, why not recommend a whole day plan? Whether you are an art aficionado, a lover of good coffee or are amazed by architecture, you have your own ideas of what a good, worth-your-time stroll through a neighborhood is.
Roam Creator is an app that I made in order to help capture those ideas. It allows the creation and sharing of thematic city walking tours, with annotations (tips, tags, etc.) and customizable paths to better capture the neighborhood spirit.
It's also useful as a way for someone to plan and save walking itineraries for their own travel plans, and view them later on the go.
Based on feedback from early creators, I also built Roam Cities, where routes made in Roam Creator can be published for everyone to see and browse, creating a wiki-like database of great walking experiences across the globe.
I invite you to think of a walk in your city (if not supported, leave a comment and I'll happily add it!) and create it―I promise it'll be fun :)
Eager to hear what you think!
Wow, you are venturing to really tough territory with so many startups trying to find an interesting take on travel. I like the design and approach. Good luck.
