When I saw this my first thought was this is one of those instances of "client wouldn't pay so I put it up on github". Would love to know the story behind why this got released as open source.
Thanks for sharing!

- igushev 7y agoI started the startup during mobile revolution and had the idea of an app which by given dates and parameters would optimize your time and give perfect trip. I spent too much time building and perfecting algorithm and backend and making live tests and space became very crowded and saw few websites and apps doing similar thing, so I decided to move on. It was idle for few years and recently decided to just open source. Maybe someone would like to use or collaborate.

- wjnc 7y agoNice work! We recently had two weeks in Italy where I dreamt up a service like this. I wish to have a service that based on my surroundings and a few parameters tells me what possible daytrips or other activities are. TripAdvisor was too noisy for me. The difference in score for a great, free and restored castle and just four remaining walls was behind the decimal point... You mention there are other websites in the same space?
- igushev 7y agoAt the time I was making research, I found one or two, don’t recall from top of my head. Majority of travel apps focus on hotels and/or tickets, not points of interest. The one which focus on points of interest, usually tries to give user most interesting, but not entire schedule.
