Kept working on it and it was good enough to share to Reddit 6 days later [0]. Got a good number of users and still keep it maintained/updated. Also have some videos showing the progress and major features over the last year [1]. It's been fun; my go-to project to tinker on when I feel bored.
Tried to monetize it, but didn't really find a market so just keep it free for the users that are on the platform :) The folks that come back to it tend to be obsessive planners (like my spouse).
Google Translate :) I wanted something short that meant "trip" or "travel".
Give it a shot! It's not for everyone (definitely not casual planners). But if you budget, plan schedules, and especially if you plan multi-day trips with other travelers, it's a great tool!
Nice! I personally use wanderlog and am a paying user (even though the free plan gives me everything I need), maybe you could take inspiration from their monetisation strategy?
Honestly don't know enough about their monetization strategy, but we did a user survey and -- at least the audience of users currently using Turas.app -- only a small % was interested in paying a subscription. So to make that scale, we'd have to invest heavily in marketing to get more users to make it sustainable.
Felt like it was better to just keep it free and ad-free :P
Told her to give me 2 days and ended up making a small app to help us plan our trip; the first version was built over New Years weekend:
