This is a simple website where someone can pick the state they live in the United States, and there will be 20 spots that the person can visit.

Hidden Gems Near You
I made a website called Local Hidden Gem Finder. It helps users discover interesting local spots across the United States. Users can search by city, state, or keyword, filter by categories like nature, food, art, history, beaches, and viewpoints, click on an interactive U.S. map, view hidden gem cards, open a details popup, save favorite places, and use a Learn More button to research each place.
The most challenging part was connecting all the JavaScript features together. The interactive map, API results, favorites, search, filters, details modal, and Learn More links all had to work with the same set of place data. Debugging small JavaScript errors was also challenging because one missing function or misplaced bracket could stop the whole site from working.
I am proud that the project feels like a real travel discovery app instead of just a basic webpage. I added an interactive map, cards, favorites using localStorage, a modal popup, category filters, and API support for real place data.
To test the project, open the live URL, search for a place or category, click different states on the U.S. map, use the category dropdown, click Details on a card, save a few favorites, and try the Learn More button.
