This is cool. Having used similar apps (e.g. wanderlog), one thing they lack that I would LOVE is timetable filtering. When I travel, I find that I'm either in logistics mode or fun mode. Here's the idea:

In logistics mode, I want a detailed, precise timetable focused on transportation and lodging. I don't even want to see my fun ideas.

In fun mode, I want a relaxed set of suggestions based on my current location, and a single timestamp telling me when I need to go back into logistics mode.

Does that make sense? Its almost like I want two travel agents: a didactic drill sargeant to get me from A to B, and a chill surfer bum that helps me go with the flow.

My current 'favorite idea I probably won't build' is an sms chat bot that does exactly this for guys in their 30s & 40s. The hard part is actually organizing the group of friends to pick a weekend and location. So a bot that can help with all of that first, is really compelling for me. OP, let me know if you want to do a user group trying to help us organize a trip.

That is so me and my friends. There's about 20 of us in our group chat. Everyone has an opinion but not one guy wants to make a decision

What key feature are you providing that can't be easily done by a google sheet?

Hmmm okay so I come from Excel world and when I arrange my plans in timetable view (in Excel), I need to 'merge' several cells together. However if circumstances change and I have to rearrange those events to other days or other timings, it become a pain to unmerge cells and move them around.

I think this is one of the main reason I started this web app as a 'timetable' view first and then build other features later on
