PlanAway – this app will get your trips out the group chat

Hacker News

Hey HN This app will finally get your trips out of the group chat. I built PlanAway because planning group trips with friends always turned into: 200 unread messages arguing about dates A spreadsheet nobody updates Ten different apps for flights, stays, and activities PlanAway puts everything in one place: - Create a trip with friends - Add reservations, expenses, and itineraries - Collaborate in real time (no more lost notes) - Get AI suggestions for activities and food It’s live now as a web app. You can mess around with it WITHOUT creating an account! Still early, but usable — and I’d love any and all feedback. I’d love your feedback on: - The #1 group-trip pain point you’d want this to fix - What would make you actually switch from chats/spreadsheets - Any “killer feature” you think is missing Anything feel clunky or confusing? Note: Mobile has some UI issues which are being addressed. Data pipelines for flights/lodging is in works to fix the manual part atm Thanks for checking it out
