WibeTrail

Inspiration

We realized most travel sites reduce discovery to filters and forms — missing the emotional side of travel. Gen Z and modern travelers are increasingly driven by mood, aesthetic, and energy. They don’t just want a place to stay — they want to feel something. WibeTrail was born to serve this shift: a vibe-first discovery tool to find stays that match your energy, not just your budget.

What it does

WibeTrail lets users discover stays based on their current mood — like nature, calm, adventure — and filters properties by vibe, distance from a current location, and price. It offers a clean, mobile-first interface with icon-based filters. It’s not a booking site — it’s a fresh, aesthetic discovery experience.

How we built it

With single well defined prompt using Bolt. React + Tailwind CSS for layout and styling, shadcn/ui for cohesive, modern UI components, lucide-react for icons, Unsplash for stock imagery

Challenges we ran into

• Creating functional MVP with single Prompt was a task. Integrating the Google Maps Distance Matrix API for accurate road distance filtering didn't happened properly with single prompt

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• Created clean & responsive MVP with single prompt
• Built a new type of discovery flow, driven by emotion instead of logistics

What we learned

• Simplicity is hard — especially when designing for mobile-first, mood-based discovery
• Leveraging iconography and visual cues for emotional search is powerful but needs thoughtful UX to work well

What's next for WibeTrail

• Launch in closed beta with real listings and booking partner integrations
• Introduce AI-generated trails and mood-based trip suggestions
• Build a community layer: allow users to tag, share and also request new listing
• Once validated with repeat traffic, monetize through fixed listing Fees for properties get x+ inquiries per month through WibeTrail, collabs with boutique properties and advertising
