Well hello 👋, I was hoping I could trouble some of you to take a look at a new website https://outpack.app/ I have developed. It is currently only myself using it but is stable, so I welcome some eyes if you are interested.
The site builds on the shoulders of lighterpack and packwizard but puts a spin on it as it focuses on taking your gear on trips, allowing you to record your adventures. I am a software engineer by trade and love to spend a night atop a hill - this site is the collision of those two worlds.
A summary of current features:
- An Inventory where you store your items and their weights
- Predefined item types and categories (not a complete set so shout if I’m missing some obvious ones)
- Packs where you can group your items e.g. winter pack.
- Trips where you can record the items you take on a trip
- Add a description or trip report as detailed as you like.
- Add a cover image to bring the trip to life.
- Pre-populate trip items using your packs
- Packing checklist
- Trip Places, where you can record waypoints (e.g. a hill you walked or where you camped) and any of your Spots.
- Breakdown of base, trail and total weights
- Breakdown of weight by item categories
- Trip specific items e.g. something borrowed or consumables like fuel, food and water
- Item trip history - see how many times an item has been taken out.
- Spots, which are a way to capture your favourite camping/overnight spots.
- Private items, packs, trips, trip only items and spots - some things are just for you.
- Note that items are associated with trips and packs so a change to the base affects the underlying trip and pack items.
- Basic user search and follow feature
I have strived to make this a scalable and low cost application as it is developed by myself as a service that I want to use and maybe some of you may too. The resources that I have leveraged should be low cost but I am wary of operating costs - as always the db compute costs are the largest - but I am taking this day by day at the moment.
For those interested the stack is below:
- SST for infrastructure - lambda, s3, dynamodb (electrodb) and cloudfront
- Neon DB for primary database postgres with Drizzle ORM
- React Router v7 for web framework
- SST OpenAuth for authentication
- Mantine for components
- vitest and playwright for testing
