OT: Launching a group travel mobile app, perfect for summer trips. Rules Followed: Part 2

[longhornguy247]

Hey everyone,

I'm a longtime subscriber and lurker here on OB. I graduated from the University of Texas in 2020 and taught myself to code. For the past year, I've been working on a passion project: a mobile app designed to streamline group travel coordination. This journey has been completely bootstrapped, with me working nights and weekends alongside a small team of talented freelancers to bring our vision to life.

Back in February, I launched the early version of our bootstrapped mobile app and shared it here on OB. The reception was incredible, and we received close to 50 downloads from the OB community. Your support meant the world to us—thank you!

Since that initial launch, we've made significant strides:

• Raised $400k in an Angel Round: This funding has allowed me to go full-time and for us to accelerate our development and grow our user base.
• AI-Itinerary Features: We've integrated AI capabilities that let users upload an image of any trip itinerary. Our AI then extracts the text and creates a dynamic, in-app itinerary for the entire group to follow.
• Improved User Interface & In-app bookings

Today, I'm thrilled to announce the release of an updated version of our app, which now includes in-app bookings. If you have a summer trip planned, I believe our app could be the perfect tool for you to try. It makes organizing group travel easier and more efficient than ever before.

Thank you again for all the support, and I look forward to hearing your feedback on the new features!

Rules followed!
