Hey! I’m putting together Wappdex, kind of like an app store for indie/SaaS tools to help people discover what you build. Just wanted to share in case you’d like to add your project. Hope to see it there!

I made a change to preload the google script so hopefully that helps with the issue you saw where it didn't show up.

Login with google is also an option, it might take a second for it to show up. Is that good enough or would you prefer a register with your email option?

Japan is beautiful, I hope you have a great time!

Thank you! and thanks for the suggestion.

Someone else also commented on the "$$$" and suggested the use of labels instead. Would you find labels like "budget", "luxury", "family friendly," more useful?

Thanks! I think I understand where you are coming from. There’s a balance between corporate BS and authenticity, and right now the overall impression you are getting is more weighted towards corporate BS. I built a lot of projects and this is the one is probably the one I was most excited to build. I do travel (probably done more of the “American hot garbage variation of it.”), but I want to travel a lot more. One thing that really excited me about the idea of “open sourcing itineraries” is that it could surface more kinds of trips than your standard cookie cutter ones. It’s an experiment and I appreciate your feedback on this. Thank you.

that's a great idea! You can do a text search for trips but these would be good for filtering as well as being informational.

Wow, there’s a lot to unpack here. I’ll do my best to address them.

I feel like this is a platform for exploiting free labor more than a useful tool to help plan traveling. I do not feel "open source" spirit.

- There’s actually a profit-sharing program that I'm experimenting with. Basically if a trip you create makes money you share in the revenue. The site isn’t actually making any money right now so the details of this is still being worked out.

I generally don't believe you are an avid traveler building a platform to make your life easier.

- I built this site because I am not an avid traveler, but someone who wants to travel a lot more. And as someone who doesn’t know all the best places to visit or eat or things I need to do and etc, I thought it’d be great to have place where all that knowledge is prepared for you, perhaps by local experts, in the form on an itinerary. Basically just trying to make traveling a lot simpler and maybe even more exciting.

This site says it is community based, but I am not sure where that community comes from. For it to be community based I would expect a member of an already existing community to build something for that community, rather than something being built in hopes of creating a community.

- Not sure if that’s a bad thing. I don’t think a community like this exists and I think it’d be great if it did.

This site is absolutely worse than just showing up at the best rated hostel in a city and having the hostel workers tell you what to do. The expensive hotel suggestions rather than budget hotel and hostel suggestions is clear evidence, imho, of the corruptive power of affiliate marketing and industry first rather than traveler first thinking.

- Anyone can create a trip and suggest any hotel they wish. I would love it if the hostel worker you are referring to created and shared a trip on the platform, then everyone would get access to this much better trip that you are speaking of.

- The links in the descriptions of the current trips available aren’t tied to any affiliate marketing links.

I think most of the other stuff you pointed out are UI and implementation suggestions. Thank you for those, I’ve added them to a list of things to do.

You might be right! it's really just a play on the concept that trips can be shared and other people can modify and redistribute them.

Hi, open-source is in reference to the travel itineraries. People can post travel itineraries and other people can modify them to make them their own and re-share them.

Thanks! I love the idea of a map view.

Thanks for the feedback! I agree, I need to do a lot better with search

Thanks for the suggestions! I like them and added them to my todo list. Someone else also mentioned they'd like to be able to click outside to close the itinerary.

added to my todo list!

I hope you are able to build a beautiful trip for your parents!

[facepalm]

haha yeah, pretty much, glad you like it!

Thank you!

Hi, sorry there's a bug when visiting on a mobile device where it will show you a login screen. I didn't mean for that to be the case. Clicking on "home" at the top left of the screen will take you to the homepage. Thanks for the feedback!

Hey, so I just realized there's a bug when visiting the link via a mobile device where it will show a login screen. If you are using a mobile device, if you click the "home" link at the top left of that login screen, it will take you to the home page where you can demo existing itineraries.

Yes! Exactly. You can copy other people’s entire itinerary, a single day, or a single event and paste them into your own. There’s also ways to communicate with the trip creator if you wanted to collaborate that way. Or you could invite people to build a trip together.

Not sure if this addresses what you are getting at but there’s a feature that lets you overlap stops and it’ll turn that particular stop into a carousel that you can use to browse other suggestion. This was added after a lot of the itineraries were already created which is why the alternatives exist in the description.

Hey, sorry about that. It’s actually supposed to take you to the landing page. It works on the desktop but for mobile devices it’s throwing up that signup modal. I’ll fix that soon. Thanks for pointing that out. Clicking on “home” will close out the login screen and take you to the landing page.

Hi, do you mean demo creating trips? if so, unfortunately, that's not possible right now without an account.

Thanks for the feedback!

The dollar sign scale is meant to indicate what kind of trip the creator planned: budget vs luxury. But you are right, it doesn’t really account for all the nuances of a trip. I was hoping having the trip budget section would help as you could get an average amount spent for each of the categories: lodging, food, activities, transportation. You gave me a lot to think about though, thanks for that!
