ASquare

Trello It's Kanban style layout allows you to see set it up so that you can see progress laid out in a column style format (ie To Do, Doing, Done - at the simplest level).

Plus it's free - the price is right!

You can also link from Trello to whatever you want - so if you have a Google Doc with more detail for example, you can just link to that from the summary in Trello.

Hope that helps. Happy to answer more questions.

It's cool because it solves the biggest pain points associated with finding travel information & creating realistic itineraries

Even everyone's favorite search engine(s)contributes to the issue of findability more than most people realize.

Subscribe if you think travel planning is stressful/painful/inefficient :)

Cheers!

Life altering stuff for sure.

I can't count how many times I've seen these.

Exactly. Test it out and see what works for your target audience. Opinion doesn't matter.

Understood.

To me "travel search" implies everything to do with travel including destination research and more. So whether it's metasearch or OTAs - ultimately the focus is on booking something (is that a correct statement to make?)

To me travel - and certainly travel search should mean more than that

exactly - there's actual destination research which is distinct from booking.

Things like local transportation info/getting around, what to do, where to party, safety info, visa info - and on and on.

I have a simple question: Why are sites like Hipmunk, Kayak etc called "travel search" sites? Travel is far more than booking flights, hotels, cars, cruises and vacation packages

At best sites like this are booking sites for xyz but I have a heard time reconciling the appropriateness of "travel search"

What am I missing?

You can do the all time bit - there's a leaderboard built with the PH API: http://www.yvoschaap.com/producthunt/

All the other Startup School videos from other locations are equally worth watching: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcefcZRL2oaA_uBNeo5UOWg/pla...

We had the chance to go to Startup School in NYC a few months back. It certainly spurred some thinking for us, namely:

i) Embed persistence and resilience into your startup’s culture because you are probably going to face a lot of rejection and resistance throughout your journey

ii) Should applying to Y Combinator be a first resort instead of a last resort?

We wrote more about this here: http://blog.planitwide.com/2-hugely-important-thought-starte...

Get your first 10 from people you know. You must know parents or know people that know parents.

Do your problem/solution/MVP interviews with these people. Then use them to refer you to others that may have the same issue/be interested.

Pour gas on your social networks - Facebook, twitter, linkedin whatever. Spread the word and force close friends to like/share/retweet etc to maximize reach.

That should get you to your first 50-100 easily.

Beyond that, in parallel, post to /r startups and /r parenting on reddit. Submit link to Betali.st and ProductHunt and do a ShowHN.

With all of this, you should get to your 1000 number.

It's almost always one or both of these problems:

i) Not having Product/Market Fit and/or ii) Not having a perdictable way to grow (ie grow or die).

Everything else is a subset of these imo.

Agreed. This movie possibly has the best EQ to IQ ratio I've seen. In other words the balance of heart or emotional content to stuff that requires the main character to have brains and dare I say, a hacker mentality, is just superlative

Deserves this status - it truly is one of the best movies ever made.

Perhaps the question is better asked on a different community like Growthhackers.com I think if you post it tomorrow morning, you may get more play there.

Curious, have you tried using something like Unbounce, Optimizely, Visual Website Optimizer or even Google Analytics Experiments? All of these will allow for quick, easy to do A/B testing.

In terms of qualitative feedback - generally that is done via an onsite survey tool ike Qualaroo.

Awesome - its cool idea for sure

Would be awesome if you could set up a quick landing page with this so people have somewhere to go vs only this post

Have you tried using Tripit? Other options to consider: Tripcase & Worldmate

If you know anything about Nir Eyal, you know this will be awesome.

Gizmodo is a bit late to the party reprinting the same article...

"It makes sense that Yahoo! got started in Silicon Valley, but that doesn’t mean it’s the best place for its future."

+1 for Trello I link to Google Docs for anything I can't fit into it.

hah - pretty cool!

Same here. 30+. Chemistry background - doing a a travel startup. Should make no sense but you gotta do what you gotta do :)

Depends on your perspective, I guess.
