Somewhat technical knowledge. Cycles happily

  • Wants to host his own pod and use that
  • Maybe even host an own instance
  • Would like to download points on his tour route to GPX
  • Wants to submit his mom's garden as well as his home
  • Would like to access the API to build stuff
  • Would like a frontend without JS
  • If app, make it available on FDroid or APK

Just discovered cycling 2 weeks; with 2 friends

  • Do the people accept three persons?
  • Do we sleep inside or outside?
  • Safe bike storage?
  • (Do you want to have con??? with us?) (maybe contact?)
  • Can I take a shower?
  • Access easy with smartphone
  • Functional prettiness | maybe darkmode?
  • Easy finding hosts along the route -> map function -> "saves" last location so i do not have to search on the map so long
  • Want to feel safe -> feedback function? proof of validity?

Need to be aware that it is not a free hotel

Only speaks french.

My grandkid Dan told me about this page and I have a garden where I would like to let people sleep. I have never done this myself, so I won't think about stuff like people needing to poop (I don't want strangers to immediately get into my house!)

What I want to do:

  • Create an account
    • I have no idea about technology so I may have an email. Can I just give you my phone if I forgot my password? SMS
    • Please don't make me select a pod, just username and password
  • Place a garden where I live
    • can I get closer to my location by IP
    • maybe reverse lookup (address -> GPS)
  • Tell people it's a garden and I only speak french (i18n?)
  • If someone writes me over the page can I get a notification? (is there an app with push notifications?)
  • I don't want my number on this dangerous internet
    • can it just show when I accept?
  • I'm going on vacation so I want to block that time
    • also if I accept someone, maybe show I can't take people in?
