What it was
Small tourism operators (guesthouses, tour shops) needed a digital visitor journey — questions answered before they’re asked, in two languages, without paying enterprise CMS prices.
- Geolocated story pages — visitors scan, get localised context
- Review capture flows — QR-code-first, mobile native
- Admin dashboard — what visitors engaged with, what bounced
What I owned
- Product architecture in SvelteKit + Postgres (a boring-but-solid Prisma schema), deployed on Hetzner with declarative Nix tooling
- Analytics ingestion pipeline with privacy-first measurement
- The build/CI pipeline and the “who fixes it at 3am” runbook
Outcome
Got to the national finals of Soutěž & Podnikej; got about 200 actual business conversations, which taught me more about product-MVP-land than any book on the topic.
