alt Hacker NewsI am working on a navigation app to handle road trips with friends.
The idea is to handle the whole thing, from meeting up at the start point, to multi-day trips, gas stops automagically planned in where you need them.
iOS only right now, Android support is planned but not a priority.
It's a bit of a passion project, as it solves a bit of a "personal" problem, I realize its niche.
I am also not a software engineer, but a DevOps engineer, so it's _entirely_ written by Claude in Swift + Swift UI, Typescript for the backend.

very interesting. I'd echo the comment by another user that the website needs to 'show' what the app UI is like.
The marketing aspect of the app would be key - the app store is crowded for convoy tracker apps - but hardly anyone is framing the "friends" angle. Good luck!
I thought this might be interesting - but I'm on PC and there are no quick ways to pop on that site and see the app in action. Like no screenshots or anything? So I left and likely will never be back. Always good to have some quick screenshots/gifs of apps in action or people bounce on your landing/sales page never to be seen again.
