Japan for One side project

iPhone · Development paused · No public release schedule

A working prototype,
kept for later.

TABI Quest is a preserved iPhone prototype for choosing three city experiences, recording each with a photo, and earning a personal city stamp. It is not part of Japan for One's current publishing or revenue plan.

Current status

No launch task is scheduled.

Development is paused, not cancelled

Japan for One is concentrating on useful travel articles and booking decisions. TABI Quest will be reconsidered only when there is repeated reader interest, sustainable site income, and enough development time.

Prototype scope
Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka; eight candidate experiences per city; choose three
Saved result
Completion checks, one photo per experience, city stamps and Journal records
Public availability
No App Store release, public tester recruitment or release timetable
No price has been announced. The former paid city-unlock idea is not a current offer.

What remains true

The existing work is being preserved.

Offline

Core quests work without an account

Quest information and progress are stored on the device. External maps, source pages, and some iCloud photo access can still need a connection.

Storage

Records do not sync between devices

Photos, notes, and progress are local. Deleting the app may remove those records.

Future

Any return starts with evidence

Reader requests, available development time, and sustainable blog income would be reasons to review the project again.
