Prof of concepts can be posted if they are interesting, whatever interesting mean and whatever the hivemind thinks is interesting.
For something like this post, a site that works only in one city may be fine, but a waiting list no.
For personal projects you can take a look at https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html but similar criteria apply to other projects like blog posts. It's not necessary that they are 100% finished, but they usually get more traction when they are well written and interactive and it's clear it's not a stupid thing that the author did in 5 minutes. Warning: You may get unrequested feedback!
PS: Looking at your comment history, most of them are too short. It's generally better to write longer comments. It's not a hard rule, but it takes a few years to guess when a short comment is a good one.

- Travefy already does itineraries and has an API.
- Who needs SIM Activation? We all have virtual sims and global roaming.
- Visa submissions cannot be automated - tricky government websites.
- Local time, weather and air quality? iPhone does that.
- Idea for a destination? Ask Chatgpt
- Airline Check-in? Airlines have moved to auto-check-in
- Hotel Check-in? Front desk in most international hotels needs you to be present to show passport and credit card with PIN.
Nothing truly useful here. Do some more brainstorming.

Having one place to track issues like visas (even if it’s just the timing around them), and tax residency is pretty good.
How much time to allow to get to/from the airport is a big deal. In Jakarta it sometimes takes 45 min, and other times 4 hours depending on time of day, day of the week, and weather. I’ve missed flights I thought were unmissable.
If air quality is bad you might book a hotel with more amenities indoors. The weather helps me decide what to pack.
Currencies are helpful. It would be good to know how much cash I need for taxis, etc.
Depending on your budget, choosing local eSIMs is much cheaper than global roaming ones.
Now do all of that for several destinations. I see tons of potential, especially if they add local knowledge.

For example, here is how the flight search is going to work (spoiler "no search at all") - https://x.com/globallybased/status/1929961280594473270
