Step #0 : Creating TravelNest - an AirBnB functional clone

Though I get hands-on quite often, given my tech leadership role - I had this nagging feeling that it has been a while since I created something from scratch.

I want to design and build an end-to-end web application that serves a meaningful business case.

I have chosen to create an AirBnB clone (functionally not technically) and call it TravelNest.

Create a software application that connects home owners across the world with travelers visiting their places. Using this application home owners can list properties which travelers can book and stay to have memorable experiences.

Through a series of blog posts, I plan to document my ideation, design and development journey with the dev.to community.

What I plan to take away from this journey?

  • Take a real world use case, ideate and create a product vision
  • Architect and design a scalable, cloud native solution
  • Develop high quality code
  • Test and deploy using best engineering principles

What I plan to give back to the community?

  • Document my learnings through blog posts
  • Opensource codebase for use
  • A guidance to those starting to build things from scratch

I will see you all soon with the first step - Creating the product backlog for TravelNest
