This was originally a project I decided to do for my mother, since she likes planning for travel (especially in Japan). I thought it would be nice to help her out and put my full-stack knowledge to good use. Although the app is catered towards Japan, future versions of it could cater towards different places, depending on how well it goes.
This app has a minimalistic-Japanese-inspired UI which caters to the specific travel theme, and also makes it so users don't get too overwhelemed with the UI. After all, simplicity is effective in some case.
This app has a LOT of features to explore, and you might find some of them useful depending on your needs.
This is where the user gets to create a trip. You can set the basic details like its name, the based pre-fecture, the duration, and no. of travellers
This is where you get to create and maage activities (the heart of your trip). Here you can add various details to an activity, drag them around to rearrange them, and delete them if you're not interested in one.
Ths is where you get to select the hotel that you'll be staying it, which will also be useful when optimizing your activities
This is where you get to search for various places around your prefecture, if ever you want some recommendations on where to go.
This is where you get to keep track of everything finance: your budget, spending trend, and etc. You can also export your financial reports.
This is where you get to "Optimize Your Route" to finid the best route to take going from one activity to another
This is where you get to vieew the map in real time, in case you want some directional guidace for your trip
This is where you get to export your ENTIRE itinerary so you can have easier access to it or even share it with others
This is where you get to mark your favorit places and view them again at any time.
Of course, this application isn't meant to replace the traveller in figuring out where they would want to go. It's only meant to serve as a guide. Overall, the app caters to the user's needs when it comes to planning and offers travellers a smoother experience. In the near future, I'll probably work on setting up instructions for how to set this up on your own device and have your version of this app up and running.
