π€ A few months ago I took the nerdiest approach to planning a trip to Italy. I built a web app to plan with friends and now it's in a beta release. All with the goal of making planning travel with friends easier.
π You can create itineraries through an intuitive calendar interface. Saving all the important information about each destination / event in you trip you can access while planning and while on the trip.
π€ You can track and maintain your trip budget. Track who's paid and who hasn't. Make settling the tab super easy.
π One of the hardest parts of trip planning is figuring out what to do or where to stay. Not everyone is always up for the same thing. Use the vote / like button on events to help make group decisions about the trip.
And so much more to come! π

Hey everyone! Excited to share my latest side project, created when planning a trip with friends.
Thanks for checking out Plan Harmony. I'm really excited to hear what you think!
It looks like exactly what I need in my life! I just created an account and am exciting to test it out!
That's amazing, would love any feedback!
It looks super straightforward and easy to use! Just played around with it, might use on a next group trip with friends π
What's the monetization strategy for the future?
That's something I'm still working on. My current perspective is a set of pro features activated per trip for a one time price. Something like $3.99 per trip.
While a monthly subscription would benefit me, I just don't know if it's the right monetization strategy for the user. Still a bit to think on and user test
Hey Maria - Just wanted to follow up. We're working with a partner now to provide a marketplace for tour & experiences. We're excited for the potential revenue stream this will bring!
Just following up - I used it to plan a recent family trip to Portugal. I love it!
I think its really user friendly and has everything that I need to plan the trip. I saw your comment above about monetizing it. There are definitely certain features that could be part of the "Pro" paid features package.
I was the only one of the group to use it so I haven't experienced it with multiple people using the features. I also haven't tried out the budget feature yet (but I'm really excited to).
I plan to use this for all future trip planning and am excited to see how it evolves.
I also downloaded the app - I really enjoy that so far!
Might be a bit complicated at the beginning, but maybe you could have some sort of affiliate marketing revenue by recommending certain activities/hotels/etc when people are planning trips to certain destinations?
Anyways - really enjoying the site/app - great product Mark!
That's amazing to hear Lexie! Please don't hesitate to pass any feedback/requests my way
