HelpStay.com is a work exchange platform connecting hosts with travellers who are happy to help in exchange for food and accommodation.
Build me a Travel web app like HelpStay.com. HelpStay.com does: HelpStay.com is a work exchange platform connecting hosts with travellers who are happy to help in exchange for food and accommodation. It reportedly makes about $3k/mo, so the core idea clearly has demand — I want a lean version I can run and charge for. Build it from scratch with a modern stack (Next.js + Tailwind + a simple database). Keep it shippable in a weekend. Requirements: - Nail the single core loop that HelpStay.com is known for — build that end to end first. - The main dashboard/workspace where users do the primary task, with sensible empty states. - Any AI step that makes it feel modern (generate, summarize, or automate the tedious part). - Data persistence, search/filter, and a clean history/list view. Also: - Clean, modern, responsive UI with a thoughtful landing page. - Email/password auth and a simple paid tier (Stripe test mode) so it's ready to charge. - A README covering setup, environment variables, and how to deploy. Ship a working MVP I can run locally first, then help me deploy it.
