I’ve been traveling quite a bit this year, and I’ve reached a breaking point with the current state of travel planning tools.

​Every time I try to map out a trip, the experience is the same: I open an app, and within seconds, I’m being funneled toward "recommended" hotels, commission-based flight deals, or ads for tours I didn't ask for. It feels like every tool out there is trying to sell me something instead of actually helping me organize my time.

​I realized I didn't want a "booking marketplace." I just wanted a clean, intelligent way to structure my journey.

​That’s why I started building Tripis.

​The goal is simple: It’s a dedicated itinerary engine—no booking integrations, no commissions, no marketplace clutter. It’s built entirely to help you figure out the flow of your trip, the pacing, and the logistics, without any of the noise.

​I’m curious how other travelers here are managing their planning in 2026:

​Are you still relying on spreadsheets because you can't find a dedicated planning tool that isn't trying to sell you a hotel room?

​What’s the one feature you wish existed to help you visualize your trip flow that isn't tied to a booking platform?

​Do you prefer having your itinerary in a rigid, timed format, or something more flexible that acts as a "guide" for your day?

​I’m currently refining the core engine for Tripis and would love to know if I’m the only one who feels like the "all-in-one" apps are actually making the planning process harder, not easier.

Hey guys, dev from Karnataka here.

​We’ve all had that moment where a "planned" road trip turns into a mess because of a terrible highway stop, a bad hotel trap, or zero fuel clarity. Most apps don't solve this because they make money off hotel booking commissions, not your actual trip quality.

​I spent the last month building Tripis to fix this. It’s an AI Travel Architect that generates a full highway intelligence report in 60 seconds.

​Here is how the logic works:

​The 60/40 Budget Split: It algorithmically locks 60% of your budget for comfortable stays and strictly reserves 40% for pure, unscripted exploration so you don't overspend on night one.

​Infrastructure Mapping: It prioritizes verified fuel/EV points and clean washrooms over sponsored locations.

​B2B Agency Hub: I also added a portal where local independent travel agents can generate branded, white-labeled PDFs for just ₹29 to help them compete with giant tech corps.

​I’m currently testing the logic on regional routes (like Bangalore to Coorg) and want to scale it out.

​I don't want to spam links here, but the platform is tripis . in (remove spaces). I'd love some brutal feedback on the UI or the route logic from fellow travelers!

Hey everyone, fellow traveler and dev from Bengaluru here.

​I’ve always felt that Google Maps is great for navigation, but terrible for planning—it doesn't tell you where the clean washrooms are, which stops are actually worth it, or how to stick to a budget without getting scammed by commissions.

​I built Tripis.in to solve this. It generates a full intelligence report in 60 seconds (verified fuel stops, washrooms, and hidden gems). I just used it to plan a trip to Sringeri, and the logic held up surprisingly well.

​It’s currently in beta. If you’re planning a weekend getaway, I’d love for you to try it out and tear it apart. I need the feedback to make it better for our roads.
