Launching soon!

@darrylhan Great concept, Darrly! The UI/UX just needs a bit more polishing, remove the distracting elements and let the content speak for itself. It’ll be amazing! Congrats on the launch.

Darryl Han

@dineshan_sithamparanathan thanks for the feedback! could you share which elements you found distracting? i definitely have some in mind already, wanted to see if it might align with you!

Launching soon!

@darrylhan Your third slide in the Product Hunt launch has a neat design. The main issues are the overuse of the brand color across too many elements and the golden icons. Too many colors, icons, and excessive use of the primary color make it feel cluttered.

@dineshan_sithamparanathan thanks for this - and agreed tbh. optimizing this discovery feed will definitely be part of our next iteration! not as simple as it seems!

Used LFG to plan my holiday to Japan. Love the playlist style search. Big ups to the team 🔥

Darryl Han

@alonzo_nieves super glad to hear that! thanks so much for the support

Alexandra Papadopoulos

Very cool 😃 I have a lot of trouble trying to organize all my travel inspo on Instagram so this could be an alternative! Personally I would like to have a short description of each of the places though (in addition to the comments from users, of course), just to give a better idea if it's a restaurant, bar, club, market, etc and what they specialize in... Perhaps you could pull in that one line description that businesses put on their Google Maps listing. Travel planning definitely needs an upgrade, so I hope you guys succeed!

Darryl Han
Maker

Thank you! Amazing feedback btw - great idea to generate one-line summaries of all the places. We can probably start by summarizing the Google reviews and other sites, once we get more comments on our platform we can infuse that too :D

Alexandra Papadopoulos

@darrylhan Love it! Good luck!!!

Jessica

Quick question – can I make custom tags? I think it’d help me remember the places I’ve traveled to more easily.

Darryl Han
Maker

@oliveraha hey, tbh we didn't enable this for now. We thought to have better control of the tagging for now - so our smart recommendations work with "cleaner" data - just like how you can't create your own "music genre" on Spotify, hence they are able to recommend and curate so great. Perhaps we will consider in the near future! This isn't the first time it's been brought up.

For now, you can make notes in your own comment or tag it as a Must F*ing Go spot if you truly want to remember!

I plan to travel Japan in May, I would like to give it a try. Looking forward to using it explore hidden gems :)

@parekh_tanmay thank you!

Morgane Perrier

Congrats on the launch!

I love the visual approach, I hope more places in Europe get listed in the future.

Just a thought, it could be cool to select a few places and see an overview of where they are on a map. That way, users can easily decide which ones are the most convenient to visit.

Wishing you all the best with LFG 2.0!

Darryl Han

@morgane_prr thanks for the feedback! i'd love to see more europe too from our community ;D we started more focused on Asia content first, based that's where we're based. hopefully once we reach more into the european market, we'll have some amazing recommendations there - but i believe there's a few already like Libson, Madrid, Barcelona.

Map feature is definitely next in our roadmap - there's a lot we can do with maps now that we have more places listed. But would you prefer the map to be in an app experience though (vs. web)?

Morgane Perrier

thanks@darrylhan ! That makes sense! I actually only checked Vienna (Austria) since that’s where I’m based. Excited to see how the platform grows in Europe!

As for the map feature, I think having it on both the web portal and the app would be great! By the way, do you already have an app, or is that something planned for later?

QingYang Feng

Congratulations on the launch! This app is very useful for people who like to travel and hopefully in the future more Central Asian regions will be listed and more language support will be added.

Darryl Han
Maker

@nzm155 appreciate the feedback! And yes, since we rely on user-generated content, hopefully once we get more community members who loved their time in Central Asia or even want to start shortlisting - I'd love to see more it! As for language support - definitely too. This will be implemented near future

Shivam Singh

This is such a refreshing take on travel discovery! The mix of Pinterest-style visuals with Spotify-like personalization makes so much sense, travel is just as much about curating experiences as it is about exploring new places. I love the idea of 'placelists', it feels way more intuitive than random saved pins or scattered notes.


Congrats on the launch!

Best wishes and sending lots of wins to the team :) @darrylhan

@whatshivamdo appreciate the kind comment! hope you have a great experience with the platform, although we know there's a lot more room to improve!

That's great! Travel and music are inseparable. It's such a pleasant experience when a specific song reminds you of a particular travel destination. Would you recommend any places in Korea? And huge congratulations on your launch! 🎉

Darryl Han
Maker

@kay_arkain agreed about travel&music being inseparable. We actually started making our own actual Spotify playlists too! For Korea, check out this Placelist i made based on my last trip: justlfg.co/placelist/clmjc039s0000l408sdlztyzr ~ hope you enjoy!

James Cooper

That’s so cool. When we want to visit movie filming spots, this app will provide great convenience and help. Like it!

Darryl Han
Maker

Thanks a lot! Funny - I made the film spots for my own satisfaction as a movie-buff ;)

Feliciana

Congratulations on the launch! I pretty like the feature of ‘Placelists’, which allow us record and save beautiful memories from our trip and adventure in one place, making it easy to revisit them. And I believe the experience of looking back the placelists will be wonderful.

Darryl Han

Amazing! Glad you love our Placelist concept :)
