No but for real, where is the travel planning service that actually does all of these things laid out in the article? I've been wanting this for years, and all I'm reading is about how I should never build it. And there seems to be quite a few stories where some startup tried to build a trip planning site, and they pretty much succeeded, but they got acquired and shut down! That's so frustrating.

WOW, that's unbelievable.
> even when one of them sends a link to some vacation rental he’s found on Airbnb that’s not available on your app.
I thought this hypothetical app was supposed to be amazing in every way, and it doesn't even support AirBnb
- Marazan 11y agoThere is zero brand loyalty to the middle men in the travel industry. Only the providers get brand loyalty.
