Congrats on the launch, @brian_friedman1! I really appreciate the way the information is shared, it's like a little plan. Is there a way we can apply to help curate for other cities?

Very cool! One question ... I saw this project on Dribbble and Behance for months, I totally fell in love with the design and how well thought out it is in the user experience. In fact, at that time I started looking for the live version but I never found it (maybe because of a bad search I did). But, why does the actual design look lower quality compared to the screenshots shown on Dribbble or Behance? I am not a customer (because I live in South America) but, seriously, I was very excited to see the live version of that great design. I hope you do not take it the wrong way, it is not my intention, it is just a question due to my ignorance on the subject of the real application :( ... I hope you can answer me because this question is killing me ^^ Psdt: obviously my vote is positive on this platform <3

@erick_laureano_maurtua Great question! We started out by building our branding, user experience and user interfaces before development. Our goal was to build out all of our desired roadmap features as designs that we could incorporate over time. The current WKND is a V1 of the designs, and we plan to add more elements and features from the designs on Dribbble. We want to be transparent with our roadmap, so you can see our V2 to V4 that we have planned out on Dribbble. I'm glad that you like our Dribbble designs, and we can't wait to develop the entire platform.

@brian_friedman1 Thanks for the kind reply. I understand then that they are projected to have the design as close to the prototype shown. I am very excited to see the new versions soon! I am a faithful follower of your projects on "bb.agency" and on Dribbble. I hope to continue learning much more from you. Thank you and successes in everything!

@erick_laureano_maurtua thanks Erick! The Balkan Brothers are a great team, and together we designed a great travel app. We're going to continue adding new features, new designs and new destinations every quarter. You can sign up on our website for our newsletter to get all of the latest updates and deals. For example, we just launched a partnership with Getaround, so now it's easy to book a shared car.

This is such a great idea!! I used to live in the US (spanish national) and had a lot of trouble finding plans to do on weekends that allowed me to enjoy the diffefent areas and disconect from the day to day routine. This not only makes it super easy to access great getways but also to discover different places, so great initiatives for internationals as well. Booking and triadvisor are big in Europe but this is a perfect compliment to a concrete experience thst otherwise is very hard to obtain unless you spend great amount of time and energy researching. I see that amsterman is a target, do you have any plans of potentially spanding further in the future to europe/internationally?

@alvaro_apraiz we definitely want to expand beyond Amsterdam and Paris. We're considering Berlin and have also been looking at Copenhagen, Milan and Barcelona for other cities. TripAdvisor has a great database, however it's challenging to create weekend trips with confidence with all of their destinations. We like a curated approach that you can search by price range, driving time, regions and vibe.

I live in Los Angeles and love exploring new areas of the city, so when I came across WKND, I immediately signed up. The curated lists of things to do, places to eat, and explore are "off the beaten path" and always high quality. Definitely recommend trying it out or requesting for WKND to come to your city.

@thinker Thanks Nick. Up to three hours outside major cities like NYC and LA there are so many amazing experiences ranging from culinary to natural to cultural adventures. Most travel apps and platforms like Pack Up + Go and FourSquare either focus on helping you fly to a new city or exploring within a city. I found a major gap even on platforms like AirBnB Experiences for discovering high quality local destinations. All of the WKND Getaways have detailed driving directions, insider tips and recommendations with direct links to our booking partners. Enjoy your time exploring the amazing outdoors around LA with WKND Getaways (https://www.yourwknd.com/la-geta...) and WKND Curated Lists (https://www.yourwknd.com/la-cura...).

Hey Product Hunt, Brian here, the Founder of WKND (https://www.yourwknd.com). We are excited to be launching on Product Hunt. We’ve been working hard over the past year to build a unique and powerful local travel platform, and now we’re ready to share WKND with the Product Hunt community. The Problem: Gen Y and Gen Z rarely own a car, they work all week living for the weekend and want to share their experiences on Instagram and TikTok. They unfortunately don’t have enough free time every week to spend planning and booking their weekend escapes. It’s challenging to book and navigate local weekend adventures with exciting, under-the-radar destinations and activities that promote a healthy and active lifestyle. Discovering local destinations nearby the city can take years of hard work to find and explore. The car-free, workaholic and social media driven generation find it difficult to recharge, reboot and re-energize every weekend to optimize their productivity. Studies have shown that a good work-life balance is essential for promoting positive mental health. Managing stress and anxiety is not an easy feat, and creating the time and atmosphere needed for positive life changes can take years to master. The Solution: WKND is currently a smart web app and SMS bot that includes more than 70 WKND getaways and more than 1,000 WKND-approved destinations within three hours of New York City and Los Angeles. More than 80% of our WKND-approved destinations are not available to book through an online travel agency, and our team curates each WKND-approved destination using our proprietary algorithm. The online journey on WKND starts off by completing a travel personality quiz that’s inspired by the Myers-Briggs personality test. WKND then intelligently packages together transportation with accommodations, restaurant and activity reservations to create the perfect ready-to-live-and-share local weekend. Our official travel partners currently include Booking.com, Viator by Tripadvisor, GetAround, Getaway, Sonder and Discover Long Island. Expansion plans include Austin with a similar experience in Fall 2021 that will also cover up to three hours outside the city, followed by Denver, Amsterdam and beyond. How is WKND different: 1. Local getaways driven by inspiration and emotion that include restaurants, accommodations and activities 2. Centralized reviews and information from FourSquare, TripAdvisor and other travel apps 3. Non-touristy not-from-the-book recommendations 4. Extensive vetted activity database 5. Instantly available two-day itineraries 6. Personalized and automated self-guided adventure packages 7. Sleek interface design and intuitive user experience 8. Community creation of like-minded and traveled users 9. Integrations with Booking.com, Viator by Tripadvisor, Getaway and Sonder We value your feedback very highly, so try using WKND next time you want to escape the city and own your weekends. We can’t wait to hear what you think, and where you think WKND should expand to. - Brian

Congrats on launching! Will make sure to check out WKND once Amsterdam is included. Maybe a German location will follow in the future ;)

@felicitashilge thanks! Amsterdam is such an amazing city and region. It's going to be a lot of fun building out the WKND Getaways, and we'd love your help too. Make sure to sign up on the bottom of our special Product Hunt page, https://www.yourwknd.com/my-wknd..., so you can be one of the first to learn about the Amsterdam launch in Spring 2022. We've been thinking about Munich and Berlin too.

@jlevy816 that's amazing to hear. With WKND we want local travel to be based off emotional discovery depending if you want a Romantic and Inspiring or Wild and Daring adventure. You should also take a look at the branded Google Maps, Packing Lists and driving directions for each WKND Getaway. If you want to customize a WKND Getaway then you can also look at similar activities under recommended WKND Curated Lists.
