Hey everyone. Mark here, founder of Driftly 👋 I started working on this after planning a few road trips around Europe and realising how unrealistic and uninspiring most tools are. Everything optimises for the fastest route, but ignores how people actually travel: - You don’t drive 10–12 hours straight - You need places to stop - You want different routes when road trippin' in your van I kept ending up with routes that looked good on a map, but didn’t feel good in reality. So I started building Driftly - a way to plan road trips that factor in real-world constraints like driving time, fuel, and overnight stops and personal interests. One unexpected thing along the way: Fuel prices across Europe vary way more than I thought at the moment with the volatile oil prices - sometimes €0.30–€0.50 per litre between neighbouring countries. That led me to build a free fuel price tool alongside the main product: https://getdriftly.com/fuel-prices Would love to hear how others are planning road trips today — and what feels broken about it. Happy to answer anything. 🚐
