i think a webapp would be nice, and useful for you too.. people like to plan on the computer + you can generate SEO from that. auto generate a TOP 10 list for every city etc.

Photerra turns geolocated photos into map spots you can organize into trips, share with friends, and book from — all in one flow.
The core idea: photos with GPS → actual spots on a map → drag into trip days → share → book.
What makes Photerra different:
• Real locations, not just POIs — Your photos have EXIF GPS data, so you're adding exact spots (that actual spot on the trail, not just “Yosemite” - no address needed).
• End-to-end flow — Discover → plan → coordinate → book, without switching between 5 apps.
• Photo-grounded data — Community spots come from real photos, not scraped listicles, so you find more off-path places.
• Works for everyday wandering — Not just big trips. Save local spots and open them in Maps or Uber with one tap.
Try it: iOS and Android apps are live (links in comments). I've seeded content in SF, Portland, LA, San Diego, Hawaii, Philly, Yosemite, and Mexico City.
Tech: React Native + RN-Maps on mobile; NestJS + TypeORM/MySQL + AWS on backend.
What I'd love feedback on:
• Is the photo→spot→trip flow intuitive on first use?
• What's missing to make this truly start-to-finish for your trips?
• Any friction in auth, maps, or sharing?
Be blunt — it's helpful. Happy to answer questions!
