It's been almost six months since my last post here, and during that time I actually managed to connect with some of you on LinkedIn and even grab coffee with a few people! Community has always been the most important thing for me, so that really meant a lot!
Anyway, I wanted to share what our team (all three of us, haha) has been working on for the past couple of months.
We kept running into a problem that really bothered us personally, cause hate spending hours researching and choosing between options, but the results from ChatGPT and Gemini never really worked for me either because they're too generic, and the chat format just doesn't cut it. I'd forget what I even asked for two messages ago and completely lose focus.
It was also really important to me that the app looked simple and clean but still felt intuitive and not overwhelming. I wanted it to feel friendly! (like Duo for example)
On top of that, I'm obsessed with weekend trips, and I really don't want to spend my Friday evening planning one. So the whole idea was basically to build a "weekend trip planner" that does everything for you in seconds. (P.S. we can generate longer trips too, but our main focus is short ones!)
👋 I'd love for the community to try it out — see our iOS and Android links here:
- UI is simple and the UX playful and nice - congrats
Two things to rethink from my perspective: - The Paywall came to early for me, wasn't convinced yet to pay for it (maybe the map feature should be free as well - but modifying suggestions is behind the paywall) - Very little possibility to gain my trust - I want to verify recommendation to somehow find out if I can trust the itinerary
Hey! Quick follow-up on the trust point, super curious about this one!
We actually show Google Maps links, and real photos for each spot (at leats we are trying to) Did you get a chance to see those, or did the paywall come before that?
Trying to understand if it's about the data itself or more about trusting why the AI picked these specific places :)
I meant more trusting the AI to pick the right one fitting my preferences - I did see the pictures, I couldn't see the map and probably oversaw a Google Maps link

Hey everyone,

Hey Ana,
Just downloaded and tested it,
- UI is simple and the UX playful and nice - congrats
Two things to rethink from my perspective:
- The Paywall came to early for me, wasn't convinced yet to pay for it (maybe the map feature should be free as well - but modifying suggestions is behind the paywall)
- Very little possibility to gain my trust - I want to verify recommendation to somehow find out if I can trust the itinerary
Good luck and lots of success :)
