What HN said
What people liked
Snappy and simple compared with Wanderlog.

This is amazing. I've used wanderlog extensively, but while its feature set is great, it can be a nightmare to work due to how slow it can be sometimes. I've just registered to…
figmert on HNSeems similar to Wanderlog but less mature. I wish you best of luck! Whatever you do, please do not make the app as slow as Wanderlog - I literally had to create an Android app…

Map view and timetable make planning easier than spreadsheets.
From 1 comment
I love this. In the past I've used Airtable, but not having a map made things messier for me.

Objections
Hard to see how it helps with the plan-creation step.
From 1 comment
This is going to be quite negative(sorry), but I don't really see the value here. Perhaps I don't really "get it", but I don't see how this helps you plan. It just lets you…

Sign-up required before seeing the app; unclear pricing.
From 2 comments
Sounds interesting, but I (and I suppose others reaching the landing page might be as well) was discouraged to check it out because it requires me to sign up to learn more.
e-gn on HNLooks nice! Since it's MIT licensed and I'd assume free to use, I'd suggest including that in the landing page. Since the homepage didn't include the keywords "price", "pricing",…

adavila78 on HNI'm unable to resend the verification code. Can you allow to do it?

Requests
Add example screenshots and sample trip to the landing page.
From 2 comments
I would definitely recommend adding example images directly to the main page, along with the link to the example trip. Otherwise there's nothing really to draw users in to using…
usrme on HNShow screenshots. Show how me and my family will use it and feel.

Idea list or bucket list of activities without times.
From 2 comments
The program isn't particularly helpful for me because my workflow doesn't map out at all. First, we collect sights that we (the group!) want to see. Then everyone prioritizes…
ceving on HNThis looks quite cool! I think it would be most useful in later stages of planning and sharing the result with friends. The major steps of planning a big trip (as I see it) are:…

Questions
How is time zone handled across destinations?
From 1 comment
Really nice, but it is unclear to me how time is represented with regard to timezones. Some large countries may have multiple time zones, and itineraries can be confusing, this…

Is there a data export and can it be self-hosted?
From 2 comments
Neat! I'd like to give this a try with my family. I noticed the MIT license, any plans to document how someone could self host this? Or would you be open to contributions from…
corps_and_code on HNHow are you storing the trip data? Do I have export options?

What key feature are you providing that can't be easily done by a google sheet?

This is funny (in a good way) because there's a YC company that actually does the same: https://www.flowtrip.app/

TripIt

Interesting app. Planning, expenses, and keeping people on track during the trip are some ways I'd think about using the app. TripIt is what we use for the latter. All things get…
