Description
tabical: swipeable 2-4 stop city itineraries for NYC, DC, and Atlanta. You swipe right or left and a personalization vector updates on each swipe to curate your deck.The backend pipeline is where most of the interesting work lives: currently trending signals are harvested each day, and from those signals we fetch the candidates to build itineraries.Built this because deciding what to do in a city like NYC is a genuinely annoying problem that no existing app solves end-to-end. Happy to talk more.

Could you build this?
Partial A mobile swipe UI is easy to vibe code, but generating high-quality sequenced multi-stop itineraries from automated daily trending scraping and personalization embeddings requires a non-trivial data pipeline.
What it would actually take: The frontend is a standard React Native or Flutter card-swiping interface with Mapbox integration. The hard part is the backend pipeline: scraping social media and local event signals daily, running entity extraction and geospatial clustering to create cohesive 2-4 stop micro-itineraries, and recalculating user taste vectors dynamically using vector embeddings (e.g., pgvector). This requires significant data ingestion and recommendation engineering.
