The old Trip Planner, Toolkit and “Nomad Max thing” are now one project: a beautiful little village for van-lifers — park-ups, social spots, local services, pub stops, weather, maps and mail.
One project, one name, one doorway. The individual tools still exist, but they’re framed as districts inside Nomad Max rather than separate products.
Trip Planner becomes the “Park-up district”: anchor point, drive-time budget, weather, daylight, vibes and one-tap directions. Designed for parked-up use, not fiddling while driving.

A membership postal layer: receive at a partner address, scan envelopes, forward bundles, hold parcels, and choose campsite/locker/collection-point delivery when you’re ready.
How it could work →Opt-in nearby nomads, meet-up pins, campfire chats, pub nights and “anyone around Clitheroe/Bowland tonight?” style shout-outs.
Keep the Pub Guide as a warm little lane in the village: parking, food, real ale, dog-friendly, garden and log-fire filters.
Open Pub Guide →Your private park-up history: where you stopped, how it felt, photos, notes, weather, safety, phone signal and “would I stay again?”
Open Roll Call →Verification, quiet-mode, private-by-default location sharing, no exact live location unless you choose it, and reputation built on helpfulness not clout.
“Find me a peaceful place within 45 minutes with a shop nearby and somewhere to get post.” Nomad Max should answer like a calm co-pilot.
The UI should be emotional, not corporate: a map of little places, warm lights, fields, lanes, huts, vans and services around a shared green.
Country-first. Rolling hills, hedgerows, dry-stone walls, warm cottage windows, field paths, birdsong energy. It should feel like opening the app is arriving somewhere safe.
This is the serious bit, love: nomads struggle with letters because society still assumes a fixed address. Nomad Max can solve it by becoming the trusted middle layer between “official mail” and “where I actually am this week.”
Start as a beautiful public hub now, then add the real service behind it in sensible stages.
