Reisenotiz

A self-hosted, offline-first travel notes built as a PWA for keeping track of trips, flights, accommodations, and travel documents — all stored locally in your browser.

MVP Stage — This project is in early development. Features are limited, data is stored in browser localStorage only (no backend sync yet), and breaking changes may occur. Use at your own risk and back up any important data.

AI Disclamer

• The project is defenetely NOT vibe-coded.
• I'm a Software Engineer, and I wrote the majority of the code manually myself.
• I do use AI, but do not trust it more than I would trust a random answer from Stack Overflow
• I won't accept AI's code until it fits my vision of code quality. I feed it with code examples written by myself manually.
• Even by the app UX/UI you can see that AI would generate something less shitty than I did :D

License

TLDR:

• BSL 1.1 (Source-available; fair code)
• Free forever for private/non-commercial use.
• Restricted for commercial use.

Why not fully Open Source?

I want to keep the option open to run a paid hosted version in the future without ending up competing against my own code.

I also don’t like the “open core” model. Splitting the product into free vs paid features always feels messy. If I give something away, I want it to be the full version — not a crippled one.

That’s why I went with BSL. For me it’s a good middle ground:

• free and complete for personal use
• still leaves room to build a business later

Also, this isn’t a library you embed into your own product. It’s a standalone app meant to be used as-is. That’s another reason why this tradeoff feels reasonable to me.

So yeah — it’s not truly open source. But I think it fits well into the idea of “fair code”.
