Show HN: Trip Mate – Find cheap one-way camper van relocation deals

1 hour 49 min ago

Hey HN,

I built Trip Mate after discovering that rental companies often offer extremely cheap (sometimes even free) one-way camper van trips when they need their vehicles relocated. These deals were scattered across multiple rental platforms, making it tough to find them efficiently.

The most interesting technical challenge was creating robust scrapers for multiple rental platforms, each with its unique data structures and quirks. I solved this by developing a flexible scraping framework in Python combined with PocketBase for storing and serving the data in real-time. The frontend uses Next.js to provide a smooth user experience with instant notifications via Telegram or Discord.

I actually found a rental trip myself using my scraper and took it!

You can try it now for free and without signing up.

I'd greatly appreciate your feedback and am happy to dive deeper into any technical details!
