Waystops (https://www.waystops.com), a map-based travel app for working out what destinations exist and which are actually worth visiting.

Google Maps is great for route planning and looking up things you already know about, but it's pretty useless for discovery. Sometimes you just want to know what places are actually worth going to as a tourist or backpacker.

It's the kind of information you'd traditionally get from guide books, but in a format that IMO makes a lot more sense - a map. Right now the scores and content are seeded by an AI, but the idea would be for these to eventually be user-derived.

It's still pretty early and I have a WIP native app which makes it a lot nicer to interact with on mobile, but it would be awesome to get people trying it out already. It's free to use, with nothing paywalled or anything like that. I'd only think about some kind of monetization if it actually gets some traction. Would love any feedback!
