Thanks, will look into it. Get in touch if you want to help out on it too!

(I'm the Couchers co-founder who wrote this blog post.) Yes I agree, CouchSurfing.com went to shit through a slow process of enshittification that ended up looking like this. That'…

Part of it is the better UI and new tech, but there's a lot more too. Just on that point though: there's actually another open-source platform called Trustroots. They initally star…
