We checked 7 park, camping and trail apps against the 12 things a park day needs.
The best one did 5.
Parkday does all 12. Launching Winter 2026. Follow along while we build it. Want it the day it's out? Join the Parkday launch list: parkday.waysidefoundry.com/?…

Parkday started as a test of Foundry.
We gave it a product brief, and Castings and Ore did the rest. The first working version showed us what it could be, so we kept building.
Why we think it changes how people camp and hike:

Parkday started as a test of Foundry. Here is how it became our next app, and why we think it changes how people camp and hike.
What's one everyday problem you wish an app just solved?
We build the ones we can't stop thinking about. Parkday started as "why does planning one park day take nine tabs?"

Planning a park day still means Recreation.go in one tab, the park site in another, weather, fire, and a trail map in the rest. We’re building something that puts the open campsites, permits, trails, and conditions on one page.
What’s the most annoying part of planning a camping trip right now?

Our first app sits in review with apple for 12 days (status=waiting for review). It's been live on Google Play since Sept. 29. Serious question, we have a ton of new features to release and we don't want to make Android customers wait. Is breaking the release cycle going to cause us problems in the future? What's your advice?

Every golf lesson is about the swing. Almost none are about where you stand.
We put every feature in Advanced Golf Address on one page: what it does, why it matters, and why we built it that way.

Vibe coding has become a dirty word.
Some of that is earned. Some of it is the usual reaction when the hardest part of a job gets cheaper.
The people pushing back have the most to bring.

As we yell out into the abyss where it requires followers to produce engagement, we find ourselves wondering if there's a filter that can reduce the number of posts pertaining to follower growth. At what follower count do you switch to real engagement? Assuming that's the plan.
We listed all 370 parts across our apps. One we’d put in every app:
In withe, our safety plan app, if a screen breaks you still see your own plan in plain text, with a button to call for help.
A blank screen is fine in most apps. Not that one.

I think the extra space post period in this medium is unintentionally starting to show our age.

Our Claude Max 20x usage resets every Monday at 5pm.
Leaving any of it on the table feels like a waste, so even when we want to step away, we end up right back at it.
Do you plan your week around your limits?

2 votes • Final resultsThe store gates primarily because we're new to it. As in sure you know and rightfully do the requirements are rigorous so ensuring every point is met gives us confidence that we're putting out something that isn't going to fall apart at exit or in a customer's hands.
We wrote down every part of every app we've built. 370 of them.
The surprise: four of our apps had their own service worker, written separately. Building with AI makes rebuilding so cheap you don't notice you're doing it.

Our QA process here at Wayside Foundry, as of this morning.
Step one: ship the features.
Step two: wait for feedback.
Step three: threaten to delete the app.
