Within the past couple months, I saw someone's pet-project where they were cobbling together a self-hostable FOSS app/service to allow people to collaborate on travel planning. It included note taking, images, possibly some functionality around dates, and a map to drop pins and see a route (I'm not sure which backend but I would guess OSM).

Now I can't find it. :(

Does anyone use an app like this? Does anyone have any recommendations? My needs are loose - my only requirements are a FOSS license and to be self-hostable.

Thanks for ideas/suggestions.

This wasn't what I had found, but it's the closest I've seen so far.

It's got way more features than I'm looking for, and the UI is a bit clumsy to navigate (or maybe it's just complex due to all the features).

Thanks for the suggestion! I may use this, but I'll keep looking for a bit.

If nothing else I am consistent lol but my recommendation is Dokuwiki

https://www.dokuwiki.org/dokuwiki

There is no some obnoxious database just a single folder.

Everything except the initial install can be do in a nice GUI inteface and there are is a wonderful media browser with a great tagging system and everything.

There is a nice collection of Dokuwiki plugins that can tackle this use case I think.

I recently saw AdventureLog, is that along the lines of what you're looking for?

Thanks for the suggestion. It was already suggested. It looks pretty good, though it wasn't the one I had originally seen.

Ah, comment hadn't federated to piefed, I guess. I had the same feelings as you though. There's a lot and it just isn't all that intuitive.
