560 stories, 80 cities, and one solo founder. Here is Youguide.
Hi Product Hunt! I wanted to share a project that has been my obsession and my therapy for the last few months: Youguide.
I’m a solo founder from Argentina, balancing my life as a Director of a Coaching school while building this app. But the real "why" is personal: I built this to honor my late mother’s curiosity. She taught me that every place has a story, and I didn't want those stories to be lost in robotic GPS descriptions.
What is it? It’s a storytelling app for travelers. Instead of just showing you a map, it tells you the "Side B" of the places you visit.
The milestone: Today, we hit a massive goal for a solo project:
80+ cities mapped in Argentina.
560+ historical sites with curated audio.
Human-like AI voices (Neural2) to keep the experience emotional and warm.
I built the backend using Google Cloud and Vercel, and I'm using PostHog to understand how users actually interact with these stories.
It’s currently in Beta for Android, and I’m looking for honest feedback from this amazing community.
I have a question for the makers here: When building a content-heavy app solo, how do you balance the technical development with the quality of the "stories" or data? I’d love to hear your experiences!
Looking forward to connecting with you all. 🚀
