After traveling to over 25 countries I created an app I wanted

A few small things:<p>- you seem to have some crazy js loading on the facebook auth page. In chrome/mac it resized my window to fill my screen length wise. I would recommend going with facebook's default auth popup. Then again maybe you are and their js was just acting goofy.<p>- the image resources on the autocomplete for your location suggestions do not load.<p>- the video explanation after you sign up could be more clear. Maybe have some steps to go through in order to "complete" my signup process like making my first recommendation and planning a trip.<p>- when I create a trip and select that "me myself and I" are going on the trip (ie. I am going alone) the trip shows that two people are going on the trip.<p>- A lot of the encouraged interaction on the site seems passive. I suspect people are going to be good about setting up their own trips but lazy about making recommendations for other people's trips. Whether it's gamification or something more you should find some way to encourage or even force people to interact.

The error page is pretty funny :) <a href="http://tripl.com/themes/html5/img/error-pages/503-bg.png" rel="nofollow">http://tripl.com/themes/html5/img/error-pages/503-bg.png</a>

Could you please remove the 'sign in with facebook' option? or at least allow other methods of authentication (I prefer Google but ideally people should have the options).<p>As an avid traveler, I've been relying on friends' friends wherever I go. I could see your app flying!

Cool idea. The user experience of adding tags is pretty terrible compared to the rest. The placeholder text in the input field suggests you can use commas and judging from the tags it suggested such as "Design, Food, Movies" "Beer,Tech,Music" a lot of people noticed that. The suggestion pop-up is also kind of awkward sometimes as it occludes the input field and won't go away when you expect. You'll have to do some serious deduplication on this even after you fix the interface.<p>Also, it got stuck on me a couple of times after clicking "let's get started", with no way to re-do (it's all AJAX) and refreshing the page required me to do everything over.

I can definitely see this being very useful but man is it slow right now... Every time I hit a "Loading..." it never finishes. I end up having to refresh the whole page and trying again. Perhaps it should at least throw an error if the server's getting overwhelmed?

Great idea! It would be awesome to couple this with a planner type system as well so you can plan your adventures with your fellow travelers. A hook into AirBnB or another service to get discounted room &#38; board with other people might be another cool idea.<p>Nice work!

A "dating" site for travel partners, nice!

My only criticism so far is that I really dislike the font colors of the FAQ page

couchsurfing already does this and has a much larger network. how are you different/better? couchsurfing is about quite a bit more than finding a place to stay, so you can't really say that.

You might want to improve the page load speed. Some quick thoughts:<p>- load above-the-fold content first<p>- combine the JS to a single file<p>- include the country flags and other small icons as inline base64 PNGs

By the way I should be replaced by we. Although I'm the co-founder this project would be nowhere without our awesome team of designers and developers!

Not loading on Chrome for me... I can sign in with Safari but it seems really slow, right now its just stuck on loading... I want in! Arg.

Did you do all the design and development yourself?

Why so cryptic... was it 26 countries?

I would use it if it wasn't for the facebook thing, I already use couchsurfing, bewelcome, etc

I only got 10 friends on FB... so i doubt this would be useful for me, right?

I tried to type in Maui as a trip i'm planning and it doesn't find it?

Loos nice, but, I'd rather just talk and meet people when travelling.

it's been saying this for over 4 hours now: Hold on, we are just loading... :(

Great idea. I like it!
