What does "open source" mean here?

  It means being able to make travel itineraries public / shareable for other people to use for their own.

    Yes! Exactly. You can copy other people’s entire itinerary, a single day, or a single event and paste them into your own. There’s also ways to communicate with the trip creator if you wanted to collaborate that way. Or you could invite people to build a trip together.

      "crowd-sourced" might be a better term.

        You might be right! it's really just a play on the concept that trips can be shared and other people can modify and redistribute them.

      I see now, when you explain it like this I understand why you used the term "open source". In a very literal sense though "open source" means the source is open, and there usually is no "source" used to create an itinerary except the mind of the creator, and hopefully that isn't open :D Sorry to be picky about wording, it's definitely a cool project!

    that's not open source.

  It’s as open as OpenAI
