2026 is gonna be my year. I mean, to last several years have been pretty good to me all things considered, but 2026 is really gonna be my year. Do things because they're hard.

I'll test it out and tell you my thoughts, no problem. Just let me know when you've got some type of update you want me to look at. I know most RV parks target older people. Snowbirds and the like. Only the ones that pivot to the coming market condition will do well. They don't want to mess with more than a website usually. Every one of them does things their own way, so flexibility is key if this system requires onboarding of owners or management. If it's too rigid, and requires too much setup, and requires continuous maintenance, they're not going to want to use it. This is pretty hard. Letting them just list their park, or letting anyone list a park or something like that, as a bare minimum feature without requiring additional stuff, but allowing for it of course, would probably attract quite a few parks to say "why not." If there's a social communication aspect for RVers that doesn't require onboarding of parks, that allows for it of course but doesn't require it, that makes it easy to share experiences and weird resources like map files and repair guides and boondocking resources and stuff like that in an easy to find way, that thing can become the go to place. Nostr is great for this because it doesn't allow for exclusivity, too many people have tried and they wind up making forums that are silos and some RVers like this one and some that one, so the resources are fragmented and difficult to search unless you already know where to find them. People want to review places, find interesting places, learn how to fix things, find good deals on parts and things, share tips and tricks and experiences somewhere and there's not really anything like that except YouTube for influencers, that's it.

Yeah, you definitely have to be willing to give it all you have, be thoughtful and deliberate in every fascet of their upbringing, it can't be something you just do half assed. But I do have this hypothesis that the only way to flourish in the coming demographic shifts on earth is to have lots of children, as many as you can and teach them to do the same. The median age is going up, which means it will get harder to build families, and the more you have the less each one has on their shoulders to care for sp the more they'll be able to have some of their own.

Well, I got into the full time RV thing a few years ago and love it, but my biggest issue is you're reliant on google to find parks, resources for where good places to go are all on obscure no longer active forums, random websites talking about RV products and what not, there's just really no social RVer resource that is easily searchable or that most RVers use. I've seen some attempts but they're all some website, which means some guy controls it, and they usually devolve into shilling products. I think this mode of living is only going to increase in popularity for younger people as time goes on and if someone could come up with something resource rich they'd really have a big opportunity as long as they aren't short sighted, and it would help people who are interested feel comfortable taking the dive.

Merry Christmas everybody!

I dig that it uses osm. I've got a couple of great OSM overlays that make life wonderful. One shows all US public lands, the other shows light pollution. I've always been frustrated that RVer sites are cobbled together WordPress sites and forums with badly disorganized information and google plugins. It would be very cool to have a social RVer thing with good organized resources. If I wanted to talk a park or two into onboarding this in their site, what's the overhead for them look like to do it?

Yeah but, what else is there to put that time and energy into? I believe that making good people is the most rewarding ambition one can have.

Interesting... What's the purpose of it being networked via nostr?

An analog thermometer in the window and one inside the house will resolve this issue for the foreseeable future.

A chainsaw on an extension cord has got to be a massive pain in the ass though
