Show HN: I made a Basecamp for travel planning in my last month of college
Hey HN!
I just graduated from college last week and wanted to share something I just shipped. I travelled a bunch in my last semester and was sick of using Google docs, sheets, or phone notes to organize my trip details. I realized that all travel planning has 3 things: transportation, lodging, and day-by-day itineraries. Most travel software I looked at did way too much and was always trying to sell me more than just the software.
I made RunwayHorse to 1) add a bit of scaffolding to my trip planning so that I can focus on the details and 2) have a quick and easy way to grab things like flight times, check-in info, and links to things on the go.
I built the whole thing in Rails (one person framework!), including running Solid Queue on my DB for jobs.
I hope it makes travel planning a bit less tedious for you too. Appreciate your feedback.
