Hi HN! I'm an avid cyclist who took the leap a few months ago to quit my job and focus 100% on building VeloPlanner – a tool I wished existed for my own cycling adventures.<p>VeloPlanner helps cyclists plan routes by prioritizing official, signposted cycling paths across Europe, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.<p>What makes this different:<p>- Focus on official cycling routes rather than just shortest path algorithms
- Comprehensive POI integration (campings, hotels, attractions)
- Detailed surface information (asphalt, gravel, forest trails)<p>This is a solo founder project that I'm now working on full-time after validating the initial concept. The decision to leave my job wasn't easy, but the enthusiastic response from early users convinced me it was worth the risk. It's still early days so hard to tell if that will pay off :)<p>I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback!
