@singhabhinav Agreed, and most of that data is bad by design, not by accident. Paid rankings and questionable reviews exist because someone monetises them, so an LLM on top just inherits the incentive. You've seen that machinery closer than most from the Trivago side.

Spent 30 minutes planning your trip in ChatGPT?
Don't spend another 30 rebuilding it.
Paste it into TripLinq.
Done.

@abylurv @king_tersoo That's exactly the problem we're trying to solve with TripLinq.
Travel planning shouldn't require spreadsheets, 12 browser tabs, and a project management certification. ✈️😂

"Why is there a gift shop on our itinerary?"

Because your travel app doesn't understand that some plans are private — even on a group trip.

Surprise dinners. Solo detours. Gift shopping you don't want the group to see.

Built private activities into TripLinq for exactly this.

[Meet Desai @mdesai_tech]

You just landed in Bali.
No local SIM yet. Airport WiFi is terrible.
And your entire itinerary is in.. Google Docs.
Good luck.
TripLinq works offline.
Download your trip before you fly. Access without internet
Because travel plans shouldn't depend on WiFi.

@khyatimaloo Definitely #1. Overprepared.
I need the full picture before I land — transport, check-in times, backup plans.
The research phase is half the fun honestly.

[Meet Desai @mdesai_tech]

"Must be nice having no co-founder drama."

Sure.

But when something breaks at midnight, it's my problem.
When the feature needs specs, design, code, testing, and marketing - that's all me.

30+ features shipped alone on TripLinq.

Solo founding isn't freedom. It's everything.

[Meet Desai @mdesai_tech]

Real example: My cousin planned an amazing Bali trip last year.
I asked for her itinerary.
Got 23 WhatsApp messages and a "check my Instagram highlights."
That's when I knew this feature had to exist.

[Meet Desai @mdesai_tech]

Your friend just came back from Japan.
"Send me your itinerary!"
They send you: → 14 screenshots → 3 Google Maps links → A Notes app dump → "I'll explain when we call"
Now YOU have to rebuild it from scratch.
TripLinq lets friends share itineraries directly.

[Meet Desai @mdesai_tech]

One tap → imported into your trip.
No screenshots. No rebuilding.

Building a travel app taught me something interesting:

Everyone has a different trip planning system.

Some use Google Maps.

Some use spreadsheets.

Some rely entirely on Instagram saves.

Travel planning isn’t one workflow.

It’s dozens of different ones.

[Meet Desai @mdesai_tech]

@mehulshahca Hi Mehul, I'm interested.
