Use cases

The visual trip planner, for before it is an itinerary

Before a trip is an itinerary it is forty saved links and no shape. Plan it as a board with the neighbourhood, the opening days and the cost on each thing, and let the days assemble themselves once you can see it.

The short version

Trip planning has two stages and most tools only serve the second. Before you can build an itinerary you have to gather candidates, and that stage is visual: places you might go, sorted by area and by what they cost. Keep the neighbourhood and the closed days on the item, because those decide what can share a day.

A sample board

Lisbon, October

Everything we might do, grouped by where it is rather than by when.

Who it's for

Anyone planning a trip more than a weekend long, gathering options before committing to dates and bookings.

What people use today

Wanderlog and TripIt handle bookings and day-by-day routing well, and this does not try to. They start once you know where you are going. The weeks before that, when it is a folder of tabs and a vague sense of a neighbourhood, have no tool at all.

What a board tracks here

Fields you name yourself, on the item they belong to. These are the ones that decide a purchase and have nowhere else to live.

Neighbourhood
The field that decides what can share a day, and the one no saved link records.
Closed on
Half of Europe's museums close on Monday. Finding out on the Monday is the classic.
Booked ahead?
Some things need a slot booked weeks out, and they set the shape of the whole trip.
Cost each
Per person, so a trip's real cost is visible before the flights are paid for.

Start one of your own.
