Dayping
DayPing is a smart holiday reminder and travel-planning platform for Germany, built with Laravel, Filament, Livewire, Tailwind CSS, and Alpine.js. It helps users track public holidays by federal state, discover long weekends and bridge-day opportunities, and receive timely reminders to plan trips more efficiently.
- Problem
- Planning around German public holidays can be confusing because holidays differ by federal state. Many users miss good opportunities for long weekends, bridge days, and early travel bookings because they do not receive reminders at the right time. Expats and international residents also need a simple, multilingual way to understand upcoming holidays and plan free time without manually checking different calendars. The challenge was to create a platform that could centralize holiday data, personalize it by state, present travel opportunities clearly, and provide a smooth user experience for both guests and registered users.
- Built
- I built DayPing as a Laravel-based web platform with a clean, scalable architecture. The application allows users to select their federal state, view upcoming holidays, discover long weekends and bridge-day opportunities, and receive holiday reminders. Guest access makes it easy to explore the product before registration, while user accounts allow saved preferences and personalized notifications. Filament was used to create a powerful admin area for managing holidays, states, translations, subscriptions, and platform content. Livewire powers dynamic dashboard interactions, while Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js provide a responsive and lightweight frontend experience. Premium features were added for advanced reminders, smart travel filters, calendar export, Excel export, and AI-assisted travel planning.
- Outcome
- DayPing became a practical SaaS product for smarter holiday and travel planning in Germany. It provides a clear user journey from guest exploration to account creation and premium features. The platform improves how users plan around public holidays by showing relevant dates, long weekends, and travel opportunities in one place. The project demonstrates strong full-stack Laravel development, including admin-panel architecture, reactive interfaces, multilingual support, subscription-oriented product design, and modern frontend implementation with Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js.
