Very plain. It runs on Rails and MySQL. For speed and SEO no frontend JS is employed.
Maintenance is not needed and the site maintains itself. It continiously picks up new products, generates sitemaps, cleans up logs, stale cache, etc.
Not needed. The site is fully automated at the moment. Some improvements could be done.
Travel planning app
Joornie is a travel app that I wish I had while doing roadtrips through the US and Eastern Europe.
The main issue I faced is when looking at new places is that blogs and travel books just want to dump all information available. That's what best for their SEO and to be able to claim to be the most complete. Instead, I want to provide a curated resource that offers people advice rather then just all the available options.
For instance, it's not recommended to use Airbnb in Bosnia. Rather, Booking.com homes is much more popular and affordable. Or, did you know that instead of taking a Bosphorus cruise in Istanbul you can a better experience using the public transport ferry at about one tenth the cost. These are my specific recommendations to what you should do.
