Built a self-guided walking webapp for Amsterdam - testers needed

Hey,

I have spent the last months building a self-guided walking route webapp for Amsterdam. No guide, group or audio headset, just your phone with a dynamic map and stories about the stops on the route, at your own pace.

I feel like I am almost ready to launch, but I would love to have some people test it!! It started as a hobby project and excited to see it hopefully come to live now 😊

Right now it is still hooked to a test payment system, so every route is unlockable for free. No card details needed, I will share instructions in dm if you are interested.

The routes are a mix of local culture, brunch spots, restaurants, and history + some ‘it looks like this because…’ stops. So no top 10 must sees in Amsterdam, but more off the beaten track.

If you have some time this weekend or next week, I would love to hear your thoughts on:
\- is anything confusing or not working?
\- do you like the stops?
\- would you consider buying this?

No need to walk the full routes to properly test, already checking out if it works technically is super helpful 🙌🏼

Please dm me or reply to this post if you are interested and I will share the link to the webapp.

Note: no need to install an app or enter any personal details, I just don’t wannt share the name/link here because I am still working on it, hope for your understanding!

3 week Southwest USA

Hi everyone,

My partner and I (both from the Netherlands, in our 30s) have just booked our flights for a 3-week road trip through the American Southwest this September, and we’d love to get some recommendations from people who know the area well.

We enjoy a mix of:
- Beautiful nature and scenic drives
- Charming towns and cities
- Good food (especially local restaurants)
- Short to moderate hikes
- Unique hotels or cabins
- A relaxed pace (we don’t mind moving every 2–3 days, but we don’t want the trip to feel rushed)

This is our current outline:
- Fly into Denver
- Explore Denver for a few days (and acclimatize to the altitude) (4 nights)
- Great Sand Dunes National Park (1 night in Alamos)
- Santa Fe & Albuquerque (4 nights in Alberquerque)
- Sedona (planning several nights here)
- Monument Valley
- Grand Canyon South Rim
- Williams (Route 66)
- Finish in Las Vegas and fly home

We’re already considering booking something special for one night around Sedona / Flagstaff / Grand Canyon, like a stargazing cabin, dome or unique accommodation.

A few questions:
- Does this route feel realistic for about 21 days?
- Are there any places we’re missing that are absolute must-sees?
- Any scenic roads or detours that are worth taking?
- Hidden gems, local restaurants or viewpoints that tourists often miss?
- Would you spend more or less time in any of these places?
- Any unforgettable experiences we should book in advance?

A few additional notes:
We don’t mind driving long distances if the drive itself is beautiful.
We don’t need to visit every famous attraction—we’d rather have a few amazing experiences than rush through a checklist.
We generally avoid crowded tourist traps if there are better alternatives nearby.

Thanks in advance! We’d really appreciate any advice from people who’ve done a similar trip or who live in the area.
