For the @Base44 #GiveItAGlow challenge, I gave Soft Days a digital glow-up.
Soft Days curates slow, intentional trips across Africa for creatives looking to rest, reconnect, and explore. Last year, I went on one of their trips to Cotonou with a friend as a creative break, and it was such a refreshing experience. So when this challenge came up, I thought, who better to build for?
Before:
Softdayyysss mainly relied on Instagram to showcase trips and handle bookings. Interested travelers had to send DMs to ask about pricing, what's included, and which trip would suit them best.
Their IG handle: https://www.instagram.com/softdayyysss/
After:
I designed and built a fully responsive website in Base44 that brings the same calm, thoughtful feeling of their trips online.
New website: https://soft-day-travel.base44.app/
The new experience includes:
• A premium, editorial-inspired homepage
• Dedicated trip pages with itineraries, pricing, and inclusions
• A smooth reservation flow
• A desktop and mobile accessible experience
The highlight is Find My Soft Day, an AI-powered travel guide that helps visitors discover the best trip based on their budget, travel style, and preferences, making it much easier to find the right escape without endless back-and-forth.
I added an AI-powered recommendation flow that:
• Guides visitors through a conversational travel quiz
• Recommends the most suitable trip
• Captures qualified leads for the business
• Pre-fills the reservation flow for a smoother booking experience
•n Instantly notifies the Softdayyysss team when a reservation is made
This was a fun one to build, and I hope it shows how a simple, thoughtful digital experience can make discovering and booking a trip feel just as relaxing as the trip itself.
Built with @Base44 for #GiveItAGlow.

This feels very intentional from start to finish. The personal connection to the business makes the project even stronger, and the AI recommendation flow solves a real problem without making the experience feel complicated. Beautiful work. Good luck
Thank you very much, Faadil!!😊
You’re very welcome! The project really stands out because the experience feels so aligned with the brand. Wishing you the best with the judging 😊

🧠 GROWTH TIP 06/30: DON’T START WITH WHERE. START WITH THE FEELING.
Most travel apps start with one question: “Where do you want to go?”
That works when the user already knows the answer. But a lot of travel discovery starts earlier, with a much less specific thought: I want to go somewhere, I just don’t know where yet.
That idea became Traveling Up, a travel randomizer concept.
Instead of asking users to work through dozens of filters, the product starts with just three signals:
🌍 how much time they have
🎭 how they want the trip to feel
☀️ what kind of climate they prefer
The destination stays a surprise.
Hypothesis: removing destination selection from the first step could move users faster from vague travel intent to genuine interest in one specific trip.
What I would test:
• Destination first search vs Mood first randomizer
• Randomize start rate
• Destination save rate
• Plan this trip CTR
• Time to first interesting destination
💡 Growth insight: in discovery products, uncertainty is not always friction. Sometimes it is exactly what creates curiosity and moves users toward the next action.
This concept came to me after a particularly inspiring trip. And I think it is the first mobile concept I have created purely for myself, rather than for a client project, in roughly three years.
So this one has a little more freedom, art direction, and product experimentation in it.
06/30 complete.
If you enjoy seeing mobile product experiments like this alongside the growth thinking behind them, follow along. And if this direction resonates, a reaction helps me understand which ideas are worth exploring deeper next.

🎴 TASTY TEST 06/30: Which travel discovery experience would you choose?
Traveling Up is probably my first mobile concept outside client work in almost three years. It was inspired by a trip where not knowing the destination was part of the fun.
Same app. Same destination. Two ways to discover it.
🤍 A Clean Carousel
Calmer, lighter, more familiar.
💚 B Immersive Deck
Bigger imagery, stronger overlap, more tactile navigation.
Which one makes you want to swipe and see where the app takes you next?
A or B? 👇
