It's like you have some experience and you're like, oh, actually, yeah, everybody, or at least some people have had this experience as well.

And then I kind of realized, oh, like this is a

I guess, an opportunity to be something bigger than it is or to be more than just a TikTok recommendation.

From sharing videos on TikTok, I then built this really basic Google map and I made a website on Squarespace.

I just kind of YouTube videoed how to do everything, kind of made a PDF that people would get a digital download.

And then I was manually adding them, giving them access to this map.

And it was so basic, but it kind of worked.

I only had about...

I think there was like 80 spots across Auckland on this first one.

It was called Roaming Auckland.

And that was like the first version of it.

And I was just kind of selling that.

And I think I maybe sold about 500 copies of that first map.

And then I started to think, oh, it would be so, this could be so much better.

You know, when I first made it, I was like, this is so cool.

And then after a while I was like, wouldn't it be cool if there was photos?

Like, wouldn't it be cool if there was reviews from other parents?

Wouldn't it be cool if we could give it a rating?

Wouldn't it be cool if people could like search places on here or apply filters like cram friendly or change table?

And then that was when the idea of like, this would be much better as an app kind of started to come about.
