About Travella
A shared travel journal on a 3D globe: pin trips, add photos, invite friends.
Travella turns trips into pins on an interactive 3D globe. Anyone can browse entries without an account. Signing up lets you click anywhere on the map to add an entry with a title, visit date, description, 1–10 rating, photos and comments. You can edit or delete only your own entries, and you can invite other users to co-edit an entry, which makes it a journal for groups as well as solo travelers. Other features: search for any place to fly the map there; filter entries by keyword, minimum rating or date range; a profile panel with your entries and stats; and loading that fetches only the entries in view, so the map stays fast as data grows. Accounts use short-lived JWT access tokens with refresh tokens in secure cookies. Photos upload straight to Cloudinary through signed uploads, and the auth and write routes are rate-limited. The code is fully typed and organized by feature. It would suit a travel community, a travel-blog platform or a group trip planner.
