Travel planning app
About
Joornie is a travel app that I wish I had while doing road trips through the US and Eastern Europe.
Why
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.
Development
Dormant
Platform for analyzing foot traffic for brick-and-mortar stores
About
The platform received data from routers and calculates stats meaningful for stores, in particular restaurants.
Stack
Rails and MySQL for the backend and integrated with a partner API for another set of devices. Highcharts.js for charts and Backbone.js with Marionette from front-end
Scale
It's used by several restaurants and was used to successfully pitch for funding. Later, Supplybunny would also successfully pitch to the same VC.
