What is a trip, and why do we need posts?

Talking to recent TrippyDoo members made me realize that… well…  we’ve been so busy with development and all that we forgot to explain how it works :-| But then again, this is why sites launch in private beta, and this is why we’re watching people interact: to understand what needs to be fixed, communicated, difficult to use, and so on.

TrippyDoo was designed to be the place for experiential traveling, that is telling your stories from your trips, adding photos and videos, interact to help each other and of course, travel more.

So what is a trip, but a collection of traveling experiences? Therefore, the Trip on TrippyDoo is only a title & location that you can easily introduce.

Then each trip can have many posts, i.e. the experiences you gather in a trip somewhere (places you see, people you talked to, dreams you fulfilled).

Photos & videos are uploaded for each post  to visually show people what you are talking about. They are visible  in the post page, but also in the trip page (which is like a folder for your experiences).

For all you people that don’t have a TrippyDoo account (yet!:D) the trip looks like this:

Please feel free to comment and tell us what you think. We’re giving T-shirts to people that help us with the feedback, however they are still in the design process…

Meet the team

I know we’ve moved in stealth mode for a while, busy with the development and making TrippyDoo happen. But then we launched, and people started asking me about the team, who’s actually behind TrippyDoo. It was not easy to put this together as dev team is quite busy these days, but here we are:

Andi Chirita

me from pestoq

Experienced web developer and web stuff addict. Plan to travel more and share the experiences on the most friendly platform out there.

…. and Alin Popescu:

Founder, managing about everything @TrippyDoo for the moment. Into experiential traveling. Adrenalin seeker, coffee addict and simplicity fan.

Max Marele (Visualis) is the one responsible for our identity and design (we’re just waiting for him to return from his well deserved vacation and give us a photo for this post). He helped us a lot during development, and he practically created our purple sheep – thanks Max!

That’s it! We’re done. However, we do feel the need for an extra hand at TrippyDoo, as the project is consuming more and more resources everyday. So we’re basically looking for an experienced well-round CTO to join our team, preferably with some social media experience. If interested please send us a CV at daniela@trippydoo.com and we’ll take it from there.

TrippyDoo – Private Beta launch today

We’ve launched TrippyDoo today! The first batch of invites were sent just a few hours ago, and we’ve been busy since collecting the feedback, answering questions, and thanking people for taking the time to report bugs.

But now it’s weekend, and TrippyDoo means traveling & fun ! So go on, discover new  and interesting places. We’ll be here, fixing TrippyDoo here and there, and trying to make traveling easier.
