Inspiring and empowering people to travel

December 30, 2019 25 posts!

Ok... most of them are from me, but I've been sending invites to specific friends and people who I've met while traveling to help get some content up.

Maybe a bit of an oversight was sending out these requests for content and review in December, when people get busy over the holidays...because to be honest I haven't gotten much confirmation that people have even visited, let alone attempted any tasks I've given them. In the new year I will follow up.

I'm hoping for 250 posts before any sort of beta launch, or public annoucement through my social media.

November 5, 2019 Launched Alpha

After many long nights, and honestly way too long - I managed to launch the alpha version of the project.

I scaled back some features including social sharing, server side rendering for now - in favor of getting content and testing out the concept.

Really looking forward to some feedback on it through this community.

June 7, 2018 First commit

After first iterating on a Wordpress site, we decided to scrap it for the second time, in favor of a more modern stack.

We arrived at at:

  • Front-end framework : React (through CRA)
  • Back-end: Firebase Firestore
  • Auth: Firebase Auth
  • Image storage and processing: Cloudinary.

I wanted a platform to both share my travels and learn about new places to go through other users' posts.
