Show HN: TikTrotter – TikTok but for obscure travel trivia to beat doomscrolling

[gostak]

I'm trying to stop doomscrolling social media, so I made a website to help me.

I'm a huge traveler so I made a website that shows infinitely-scrolling obscure locations with interesting trivia in a TikTok-like manner.

I've been discovering a lot of cool places in the world and dropped my social media time a lot. The website is 100% free, no ads and no sign-up. Check it out if interested, I would appreciate some feedback.

Next step is to create a multiplayer trivia game where you can challenge your friends and see who knows more about the world.

While many of the images were low resolution or just strange icon graphics, and the text felt like AI-slop, the core concept is great. Hope you keep making progress on this.

Hey thanks! The image issue is something i'm struggling with, I source them from Wikitravel and they are often not high-resolution.

Scraping from google images search introduces two (potential) issues:

1. Getting the correct location, (there is for example a Barcelona in Venezuela) but searching that will always just return the one in Spain, the feed should show obscure locations so this is a problem

2. There seems to be some more legal implications from scraping/using images from Google Image search

I'll work on the text feeling like AI-slop, I welcome all the feedback!
