Bestin.city – Find top attractions in cities and their surroundings

Comments (1)

maljan · 5h ago

Hi HN, I built bestin.city to solve a personal frustration - missing out on amazing attractions just because they were slightly outside city boundaries. During a trip to Naples, I later discovered I'd missed Herculaneum, a Roman town with ancient ruins. This happens to travelers everywhere - we focus on city centers and miss nearby gems. bestin.city shows you the top places to visit in any city AND its surrounding area. It uses a simple interface that prioritizes discovery over overwhelming you with options. Tech stack:

Frontend: React + DaisyUI Backend: Flask Maps: LeafyJS Hosting: Digital Ocean

This is a solo project I've been working on for the past three months. Current coverage includes 100+ major cities worldwide with more being added weekly. I'd appreciate any feedback, especially on the discovery algorithm and UI/UX. Thanks!
