About ThemeParkie

# More park. Less waiting.

I'm Tim. I love theme parks, but I hate waiting.

## Why ThemeParkie?

ThemeParkie brings live wait times, opening hours, weather and crowd levels together in one calm place. It helps you decide where to go and leaves more time for the attractions themselves.

By day I work on digital products. You can find out more about my professional work at [Titans of Industry](https://titansofindustry.be). You can read my personal blog at [broddin.be](https://broddin.be).
