Figure I'd add my own two cents to building software for this: School project with a few buddies, decided to make an itinerary planner. Problem was that it was messy and difficult to plan a trip with 3+ people. Emailing back and forth gave you long chains, calls and group chats were difficult to schedule together and settle on something. Ultimately a Google spreadsheet or shared doc was the best option despite limitations. Enter the itinerary planner: Post possible destinations, majority vote by a certain time to include or exclude in plan. It was to act as a central place to plan pre-trip, view during trip, and post after trip(web app or native app). Eventually, the realization was the same problem as most people have mentioned, retention. So then comes the weekend planner. Miniature trips or adventures for weekends or long weekends are much more common, spontaneous and way easier to make decisions. Google Now already offers suggestions of events and places to be during the weekend based off Geo and whatnot, just have to take it a step further.
