Show HN: Make a map of the countries/cities you've traveled to

10 pointsby my12parsecsabout 1 year ago
I made this because I wanted a page on the internet that shows the countries/cities I have been to. In addition to a profile page that shows a map and list of the locations, you can also embed the map to any website with an iframe tag.

Pretty cool. I’ve been using a Google Map for this, adding a pin for each place I’ve been. I use Apple Photos to some extent as well, as there is a map view, but that’s only good for places I’ve been since 2007.<p>My biggest concern with your project, as well as Google Maps and Apple Photos, is longevity. In 40 years will I be able to look back at an overview of all the travels I’ve taken in my life? I’ve been thinking I should probably have a text document with the basics, so at least I have the information to enter into something in the future, if all the other platforms die along the way.

Good idea. I also have some privacy concerns and would prefer to self-host something like this.<p>Also the search feature needs a bit more improvement. For example I couldn&#x27;t find &quot;Turkey&quot; when I had typed &quot;tu&quot; because it&#x27;s spelled &quot;Türkiye&quot; in the options.

Pretty neat, thanks for sharing this. I don&#x27;t exactly share the privacy concerns of the other commenter, but I would feel better with a couple of things:<p>- Ability to toggle profile public&#x2F;private - Ability to delete profile - Ability to change username (it&#x27;s fine if doing so breaks my embeds, etc)

Cool idea, but why would I even put more personal info in a public website?

Interesting project!<p>You might want to check NomadList. They have a similar feature.
