TourPinch! is a web application that provides a pre-selected, best itinerary for a given destination city to tourists depending on their length of stay. The application pinpoints the 'must-see' points and generates the most efficient tour route to help plan the user's travelling. The application is powered by Node.js and Backbone.js in the backend and frontend, respectively.
Currently, the application is at its concept stage - take a look at the site! www.tourpinch.com
I found inspiration for this application during my numerous backpacking trips. Every new arrival at a new destination meant that I would have to research of all the tourist attractions scattered around the city. And since I usually limited my stay to a few days before moving on to a new destination, I could not possibly cover all the tourist attractions I found. I wanted a simple application that would provide the 'best' places to tour in a limit amount of time, with accompanying descriptions.
