I built a tool to simplify visa application documents – would love your feedback

5 points by errric-vd 3 days ago

Hi HN,

I recently launched visadocs.ai, a small project that helps travelers generate professional visa application documents like itineraries and accommodation plans.

It came out of my own frustrations preparing visa applications — piecing together flights, hotels, and day-to-day plans was time-consuming and often felt like busywork. The tool automates a lot of that: you enter your trip details, and it generates a ready-to-use PDF in minutes.

I’m a solo founder and built this end-to-end (design, front-end, back-end, deployment). The technical stack is React + Vite for the front end, Cloudflare Pages/Workers for hosting, D1 for the database, and Stripe for payments. I've got more of a Product Designer background (been working in the industry for the past 10 years) so there was a bit of a learning curve and I might have not build this in the best way possible (especially on the back-end).

I’d love your thoughts on a couple of things:

For those who travel often, do you see value in this type of tool?

Are there obvious use cases or pain points I might be overlooking?

Any red flags you see with how this might scale (or not)?

Thanks in advance — I’d really appreciate any feedback from this community
