This is a lovely product. My only fear as a user is "how do I know the data is correct/up-to-date?" Great work though this should be higher

@acgoff Thank you Alex! That is a good point - I have just added "last review" date in the sections where content is subject to change. For most of countries I provided a reference URLs from where I obtained the information on visas, COVID limitations, etc.

I had same issue too. Also, you should also add "Suggested updated" users may suggest by letting you if there's an update for a region which is not updated on your database. This will be some sort of growdsourcing of information, you can later verify the suggestion and update from your end.

@chinqueman1 Hi Charles, this is going to be my next milestone. My goal is to allow visitors create their user accounts, so they can both sign-up for notifications with country content updates + submit their tips and information.

@txomin_goni The backend is based on ProcessWire and LAMP ;) Eventually, if the traffic is increased, I will switch to more optimized solution. The front-end is based on a few frameworks: Spectre.css, typeahead.js and jQuery ListNav.

Are you planning a baby component? I can see a lot of travel agencies including travel aggregators wanting to intergrate you within their product. This is personal to me because I recently traveled and I wish all travel advisory were in one place. Also, think beyond health and wellness aspects, in the future, add Safety, as well as Travel requirements like visa, transits. The U.S state department could be a helpful place to find reliable Travel "Safety" tips while allowing registered users to add content on the safety front.

@chinqueman1 Thanks for the idea. I was going to include one more section with statistics on terrorism risk, theft and road accidents, but I did not make it on time. This will be included in next few weeks after I review all available data and prepare the backend code. To make it more relevant I will include links for US/UK governmental travel advisory pages. API with the travel info that can be used on 3rd party websites is also on my list ;) This would be more complex to add, so I will need to analyze the market demand before I invest my time into this.

How feasible is to keep such a database up-to-date? Requirements might be in different language and ambiguous. Is this all manual entry?

@vskritsk I am using a data feed provided by WHO to track the changes. Whenever the data for any country is updated, I manually check the requirements on official websites. To add all the COVID information, I had to manually validate and enter the data for each country. The biggest problem here is that the info provided by WHO is not relevant for many countries.

Hunting your own product, when you have 0 followers is a little weird. Next time try out some guides like: https://mention.com/en/blog/hack... Your product idea is really nice. It looks like you also put a log of effort into visuals and obviously product. If you would advertise better you would easily get into top 5.
