My official entry for the #Bloom With #Bubble x Contra Challenge!

App Name - Roam Category - Lifestyle Branch Version ID: version-test Preview URL: https://hello-95270.bubbleapps.io/version-test/api/1.1/mobile/preview?debug_mode=true&preview_view=Login Concept: Roam is a mobile day planner that helps people discover and create curated itineraries for any city. Users can browse community-submitted day plans filtered by vibe, or use Roam AI to generate a personalized plan in seconds

The Problem Roam Solves: Planning a great day out is surprisingly hard. You open five browser tabs, scroll through Reddit threads, ask friends for recommendations, and still end up somewhere mediocre. Roam solves this by combining the warmth of local knowledge — real plans from people who know their city — with the speed and personalization of AI. The result is a day plan that feels handcrafted, not algorithmic.

Category (Lifestyle): Roam is built around the moments people want more of: unhurried mornings, good food, outdoor exploration, quality time with the people they care about. Roam supports how people spend their time, explore their surroundings, and make memories. Whether that's a solo foodie afternoon, a family-friendly Saturday, or a date night in a city you've never visited. Seasonal Theme: Spring is the season of getting outside again. Longer days, warmer weather, and renewed energy to explore. But that itch to "do something" often runs headfirst into the paralysis of not knowing where to start. Roam is built for exactly that moment.

Monetization Approach: Roam uses a freemium model to start with a paid subscription to unlock more features. Free users can: - Browse all community ideas - Save Ideas - Create up to 3 Ideas manually - Generate 3 Roam AI itineraries per month Paid users unlock - Unlimited AI itineraries: Generate as many curated day plans as they'd like - Deeper personalization: Longer prompts, dietary filters, and pace control - Offline city maps: Download itineraries - Ability to export and Share: Send an itinerary to Apple Maps or Google Maps - Plan with friends: Co-edit an Idea in real time and vote on stops - Smart collections: Auto-organize saved Ideas into trips, seasons, etc In addition, local businesses can pay Roam a flat fee for a paid placement to advertise their business within an Idea. Core Features: Browse & Discover: - A curated feed of day itineraries ("Ideas") organized by city - Filter by vibe tags like Foodie, Date Night, Outdoor / Active, Chill / Slow, etc.

Create & Plan: - Manual creation: Create your own itinerary with title, description, vibe tags, and real location stops integrated with Google Places API - AI generation: Add your city, group size, vibe, and budget, and Roam AI generates a complete curated day plan with specific places

Save & Organize: - Bookmark any Idea to your personal saved collection - View all your created Ideas and saved Ideas on your profile

Roam Plus (Premium Tier): - Unlimited AI-generated itineraries (free tier is capped at 3/month) - Offline city maps, export to Maps/PDF, collaborative planning with friends, and smart auto-collections My goal in starting Roam was to try to help as many people as possible break free from the paralysis of answering the question "What should we do today?" or "What should we do this weekend?" Sure you can google things to do, but I wanted to get a little more personal and curate a database of local knowledge. Real plans from real people who know their city. This was a really fun project, and I’m looking forward to hearing all of your thoughts and seeing where it goes! https://www.loom.com/share/1b53584c52fc47aca5a235ad6afa224b
