Nikal Pado: An offline-first outdoor adventure planner for the Touch Grass challenge

Hacktoberfest: Maintainer Spotlight

Hey everyone!

For this year's Hacktoberfest "Touch Grass" challenge, I wanted to build something useful that actually gets people away from their screens. So, I made "Nikal Pado".

It's a simple, lightweight web app that helps you plan a quick outdoor break in just a few seconds.

** What it does:

  • You type in where you are, the current weather, how much free time you have, and your interests (like walking, birding, etc.).
  • It instantly creates a neat, time-split action plan for your outing.
  • There's also a built-in local field journal where you can quickly save notes about what you saw or experienced outside.

** Tech Stack:

  • HTML5
  • CSS (Tailwind)
  • Vanilla JavaScript

Since it runs 100% locally in the browser, there are no complicated backends or setups. You can just open it and use it.

Would love to hear your thoughts or suggestions! Happy hacking! 🌿

I love how you've combined the concept of outdoor adventures with the "Touch Grass" challenge, creating an offline-first planner that encourages people to disconnect from screens and reconnect with nature. What inspired you to focus on an offline-first approach, and how do you envision users balancing the need for planning with the desire to fully immerse themselves in the outdoor experience?
