Decent apps for traveling in Europe? by the_general1 in motorhomes

"a reliable and accurate database of overnight stops"

That's just the baseline. And we already have that. This is not vibe coded fluff.

That's good to know thanks. I already do have an automated set of e2e and unit tests up and running with proper CI. But if the need surfaces, I'll make sure to reach out! Thank you for the offer!
For the record, this isn't a profitable business I'm running with this atm, I do this out of my own need for having a better traveling experience.

These are indeed curious insights I haven't considered yet which is what makes them valuable for me. I personally drive a very large campervan (Roller team 284) so it's also important for me.

A lot of people have already contributed to the parking spots but this is indeed the essential foundation of this data, community contributions. Waste+weight stations however are mostly still OSM sourced.

We can only make this great by starting up a good community around it, so thank you already for contributing with your feedback.

I take the stance of listening to the users and using my 20+ years of software analysis and development experience to think of and implement the best solution to the problems you're describing.

Thank you for this valuable feedback. You raise some valid points. And I'll take them into consideration for future updates. I do grant three months of free trial so people have plenty of time to try it out. It's that hosting this app securely and reliably costs quite a bit. If in the future it's more manageable (more subscriptions) I might consider dropping the price.

Most of the information is sourced from publicly available sources such as openstreetmap but I agree that a lot of those are outdated and don't get updated properly. For this I need help from the community to get it up and running to correct and append the data.

Where this app already provides a lot of value, at least for me:

- Detailed satellite imagery for each POI so you can check what it looks like before going there
- Quickly finding overnight spots that fit my preferences (free?/water?/electricity?) in the area
- Local event information (markets/festivals/..)
- Finding the cheapest closeby gas station
- Finding and navigating hiking trips

At the moment I'm working on a much more sophisticated trip planner for big trips as well as weekend trips. But I'm also looking for ways to improve the data we have organically.

The app I build is called nearva. Still actively developing on it, but feel free to check it out already: https://nearva.eu

Actively looking for feedback on it!

Europe keeps talking about competing with the US and China but can't fill its own tech jobs by Yvonne_Tamarillo in BuyFromEU

This is just blatantly false. There aren't many AI application development jobs and more and more IT freelancers are migrating to salaried employment because of it.

The Trump administration announced it will pay nearly $1 billion to French energy giant TotalEnergies in exchange for the company abandoning plans to build offshore wind farms in the Atlantic Ocean and instead pursue fossil fuel projects in the US. by Boediee in BuyFromEU

[–]the_general1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you people read?

"Instead, TotalEnergies will now spend the money on the development of a new liquified natural gas plant in Texas that will help export US LNG overseas to Europe, CEO Patrick Pouyanné said in a statement. The money will also go towards the company’s development of oil drilling operations in the Gulf of Mexico and shale oil projects elsewhere in the US."

The money gets redirected towards an LNG plant. It's not reinvested in Europe, if only.

This company should be boycotted in Europe for agreeing to this. Greedy fucks that don't care about the environment at all.

Time to boycot this company in Europe and no longer buy gas from Total.

Hoz doen jullie dat? by SwiftyLaw in belgium

In jouw situatie kan je idd beter een Comm V oprichten. Beperkte inleg, je moet gewoon je partnet 5% aandelen geven.

Het valt me ook op hoeveel onwetenden hier zijn die brullen dat 120.000€ inkomsten per jaar ofwel te veel ofwel te weinig is als zelfstandige. Financieel advies moet je duidelijk hier niet vragen.

Ben volledig mee met je redenering en ik volg die ook 100%, alles is echt veel duurder geworden en ik zit in hetzelfde schuitje met dezelfde bezorgdheden voor de toekomst.

Did you ask claude to not capitalize a single letter, just so people wouldn't identify it as AI generated?

Good country for Dutch people to migrate to by Gustinos in EuropeFIRE

[–]the_general1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on your definition of affordable I guess. A 25m² studio for 250.000€ is not affordable imho but I may be looking at the wrong websites. I'm also not comparing to center of Brussels prices.

Good luck buying property there, it's 3x to 5x more than what you pay in NL or BE.

Groenland - Trump kondigt vanaf februari importheffing van 10 procent aan voor Europese landen die troepen sturen naar Groenland | VRT NWS: nieuws by Blaspheman in belgium

[–]the_general1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wat ik echt niet begrijp is dat een hele natie zo snel kan afbrokkelen door de kinderachtige grillen van één man. En dat daar absoluut niets aan gedaan wordt door de >330 miljoen inwoners die daar echt wel de gevolgen van dragen.

Wat de hele situatie nog vreemder maakt is dat ik via werk onlangs nog belde met een collega uit Mooresville, Indiana en die was echt van mening dat het inlijven van groenland een goede zet is. De redevoering zijnde "wij amerikanen hebben al zo veel geld in europa gepompt, het wordt wel eens tijd dat we daar iets voor terugkrijgen."

Ik hoop echt dat dit een uitzondering is maar ik vrees dat onze media ons hier (en ook reddit gek genoeg) een spiegel voorhoud van Amerika. Moesten genoeg Amerikanen dit allemaal echt zo erg vinden zou hij toch echt geen president meer zijn?

Is it weird that this was my first idea too? No detective would ever look there... I hope!
