The roadmap defines a rules-based engine that composes the itinerary, map pins, budget, packing list, and checklist. Core planning does not depend on a language model guessing the structure.
Cities Unveiled / Architecture & product design preview
A city guide. An entire journey.
An editorial travel platform that turns an expert-curated guide into a personal trip, connecting the itinerary, map, budget, packing, and memories in one place.

01 / The brief
A product with a purpose.
Buy a city guide and begin with a trip that is already organized. Cities Unveiled connects expert editorial content to a practical travel workspace: days, places, spending, packing, documents, and a companion that can refer back to the guide.
The roadmap specifies React Native and Expo for the mobile apps, with Next.js for the web companion. A single editorial source feeds the guide, downloadable material, and retrieval system. The new identity pairs a portal-shaped monogram with cobalt and terracotta, balancing travel inspiration with useful detail.
02 / The challenge
Start with
the real work.
Travelers collect guides, saved places, tickets, and notes across different tools. Turning that research into an actual day in a city takes work. The product needs to bridge inspiration and practical preparation while staying useful without a connection.
03 / The experience
A clearer path
from start to finish.
Discover a guide on the web, shape the trip on your phone, and carry useful details into the city. The roadmap connects planning, offline access, and travel memories.
- 01
Find your city
Browse an editorial guide and purchase through the appropriate web or mobile payment flow.
- 02
Make it your trip
A short setup captures travel dates and preferences before the guide becomes an itinerary.

- 04
Keep the experience
Collect journal entries and photos, then return to a trip recap after coming home.
04 / Under the surface
Thoughtful decisions.
Useful details.
One editorial source
Sanity supplies canonical guide content. The planned publishing pipeline derives in-app guides, PDFs, and retrieval chunks from the same versioned material.
Ask the Guide
A bounded Claude-based concierge is planned to retrieve relevant passages from the purchased guide. Source context, refusals, and evaluation are part of the architecture.
Useful when the signal disappears
Purchased guide content and permitted map regions are designed for download. Offline status and synchronization should be visible before the traveler needs them.
Private documents and shared trips
The roadmap proposes client-side document encryption, controlled key access, and a later collaboration phase. These require implementation and security verification before release.
A phased product
The hero purchase-to-trip flow precedes the wider feature set. Concierge, subscriptions, collaborative trips, and future marketplace ideas are separate delivery stages, not claims of completed features.
05 / Technology
The foundation
behind the product.
Each part of the stack has a job. These are the proposed technologies in the project architecture.
React Native & Expo
Primary iOS and Android codebase, native integrations, and mobile delivery.
Next.js
Web discovery, checkout, and administration companion.
Supabase / Postgres
Planned accounts, relational data, storage, realtime events, and vector retrieval.
Sanity
Editorial source for city guides and place information.
Mapbox
Planned map presentation and permitted offline regions.
Stripe & RevenueCat
Web checkout and mobile purchase entitlement handling.
Claude
Guide-grounded concierge and bounded writing assistance.
Sentry & PostHog
Planned error visibility and consent-aware product measurement.
Technology choices reflect the supplied roadmap. Product visuals are design concepts; roadmap targets and future phases are not presented as shipped outcomes.
06 / The result
The path to delivery.
A detailed technical roadmap defines the path from a focused guide-to-trip experience to a broader travel companion. This case study presents that architecture and a proposed visual direction. Release dates, adoption, performance targets, and commercial results remain to be validated.
