Hey Hunters! 👋 Ever tried planning a group trip? You know… that mess of spreadsheets, group chats, 17 bookmarked links, and that one friend who always goes rogue with a random Airbnb in the middle of nowhere? 😅 Yeah. I’ve been there. And I knew *there had to be a better way. My name is Kevin and I’m an avid traveller (aren’t we all?) and in turn, travel planner. I think planning is half the fun, but I never liked any of the current travel planning offerings. I needed something more intuitive and less bloated. So I built Getaway — a collaborative trip planning platform that makes organizing travel with friends fun (finally) instead of frustrating. Getaway is our love letter to spontaneous detours, perfectly timed sunsets, and “remember when…” moments. Most importantly — Getaway is *not* trying to become another bloated travel planning app. Getaway will be focused and clean. Collaborative. Yours. --- So, what makes Getaway magical? ✨ 🧠 Visual Brainstorming, Together Use a kanban-style idea board to gather everyone’s favorite restaurants, sights, and activities. Each idea lives in a clean little card with an emoji, notes, and metadata pulled from Google Maps. 📆 Itinerary That Actually Makes Sense Move activities into a shared itinerary and organize them by day. It auto-adjusts ordering, supports overlapping plans, and accounts for timezones. 💸 Built-In Budget Tracking Add costs to each activity and track your estimated vs. actual spend by category. Visual dashboards show how your trip budget is shaping up — and where you’re splurging. 💰📊 🗳️ Group Decision Making Can’t agree on what to do Friday night? Create a **Voting Block**, let your group vote, and Getaway highlights the winner. Done. 🙅‍♂️ No Bloat, No Noise Getaway is not here to upsell you on hotels, car rentals, or random “deals.” No spammy suggestions, no affiliate push. Just the cleanest, most collaborative trip planner you’ll ever use. -- 🛣️ Roadmap & What’s Coming Next 🎲 Flow Blocks (Decide in the Moment) Not sure if it’s beach day or museum day? Add a Flow Block — a flexible placeholder with multiple options you can choose from based on weather, mood, or spontaneity. 📤 Smart Exporting Enhancements Export to Google Sheets, Calendar, and Maps. Choose specific days, categories, or collaborators to include in your export. 📩 Email Forwarding for Flights & Hotels Forward booking emails to Getaway and it’ll automatically extract and organize the key details right into your trip. No more digging through your inbox at the gate. --- Try it for Free 🚀 Getaway is launching with a free tier that lets you create 5 trips and collaborate with friends. Pro features that unlock unlimited trips and collaborators is available for $24.95/month. 📝 Plan your next adventure with Getaway and let me know what you think! I’m really looking for feedback on how to make this better so would love to chat and learn about how Getaway can be better to help you plan your trips. – Kevin Yang
