Building a "Niche Tool" portfolio 🚀

Just launched my USA Travel Budget Calculator. It handles the "hidden math" of tips & gas.

I'm also scaling an ed-tech platform for 50+ bloggers. Looking for feedback on my tool's UX & conversion!

    The "hidden math" like tips and gas is exactly what ruins a travel budget, Mariela. Tackling that specific friction for USA trips is a great way to build trust before moving users into a larger ed-tech ecosystem.
    I’m actually building a project in Tokyo (Tokyo Lore) that focuses on skill-based competition for business ideas just like this. Since you're looking to build authority in the travel space, a trip to Japan (one of the world's most unique travel markets) would be a massive asset for your roadmap
