Travel · the in between
Updated 25 Oct · Guide essentials beta added: Todos Santos, Maine, Montréal and Hudson Valley, the Cabagges guides, and the new place cards from your yeses

The travel workbench.

Every place we've covered, are covering, or want to. The tools to build guides, render them on maps, and trace credits across the ecosystem. Individual guides live below — open one to curate, share, or send a reader to the map.

The tools
Residency
Residency Board
Where to stay and what to go see for a fixed-date residency. Decisions, notes, availability and a coast map — all written to Supabase. Add ?view=1 for a read-only link to share.
Workbench
Journey Tracker
The places + stays + trips workbench. A-list map exports, ethos ratings, production tracking. Where everything lives.
Taxonomy
Places
Geographic taxonomy. Click any place to see all archives, brands, people, and trips tied to it. The where layer that connects every CANAVA tool.
Editorial
Guide Curator
Build place-based guides. Curate entries, write copy, set vertical/type, link to canonical places. Feeds Guide Map + canava.co publishing.
Bulk intake
List Importer
Paste a whole list or CSV into a guide at once. Dupe-checks each row against Places, then creates place + draft entry linked by place_id, flagged needs-research for the curator queue. The paste-many complement to one-at-a-time Trawl.
Reader
Guide Map
The published reader-facing render of any guide. Append ?guide=<slug> to open a specific one.
Search
Find Anywhere
Cross-corpus search for places, brands, library items, CIS, community. Use before adding to avoid duplicates.
People
Community
External sparkers — chefs, designers, founders, owners, GMs we credit and watch. The relational web layer.
Design
Map Icons & Palette
Every pin glyph at actual map scale + live category-color editor. Hex changes here re-tint the map on next refresh.
Tracker
Guide Tracker
Spreadsheet-shape view of a whole guide. Sort by any column, search, one-click scout/shoot/decision flips, photo + on-now flags, CSV export. The complement to the curator.
Audit
Place Flow
Single-place lifecycle audit. Identity card, 7-stage workflow indicators, field-completeness, popup preview, every surface that touches the place.
Guide essentials · beta
