AdventureHive: who we're building for

AdventureHive helps people in Thailand find campsites with checked information, join group camping trips, and trust reviews because only people who really attended a trip can review its campsite.

Based on 2 interviews with potential users (P1, P2).

Project plan summary

Problem
Camping information in Thailand is scattered across Facebook posts, LINE chats and park office phone lines. It is often out of date, and there is no way to tell whether a reviewer actually went.
Who it is for
Weekend campers, trip organisers, and people trying camping for the first time.
Core idea
Checked campsite information, trip sign-up with an automatic waitlist, and reviews only from verified attendees.
Stack
Django + Django REST Framework + PostgreSQL, with a React frontend. These research pages are plain Django views and templates.
This semester
Campsites, trips, attendance check-in, verified reviews, moderation, groups, Q&A and notifications. Real-time chat and semantic search are out of scope.
