An excellent application for trip planning already exists called 'Furkot' - I've been using it for years - I assume this works slightly differently though and actually suggests interesting places? (didn't try it yet because it asked me to log in before I know what it does)

Another thumbs-up for Furkot. I use it in place of Garmin's infuriating software and just load it on the device when I'm done. It served me well for a multi-week motorcycle trip to Alaska, and a variety of smaller trips to British Columbia and the like. Since every use case is different I won't go on about why I like it, but in summary it is impressively well done.

I'd compare to CampTarget, but like many others the immediate need for my location and creds was an insta-close for me.

If by "interesting places" you mean "camp sites, petrol stations, garages, stores and car parks". I would love something that suggests nice view points, road stops, etc. Will check out Furkot.
