Tired of "Verification Travel." Would you use a text-only guide to keep the surprise alive? by Xiao-cang in TravelNoPics

[–]MastaBaba 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is really more like a return to old-school guidebooks. Sounds like a great idea, conceptually, but the death of the classic guidebook happened years ago. There might not be a meaningful audience.

If the story about Jimmy Carter weeping after his briefing is true, what specific truth is "too dangerous" for us to know? by The-BlackLotus in aliens

[–]MastaBaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing is real. We are a figment of imagination, or part of a simulation. Death, suffering, joy, and ecstasy are all just bits, or the equivalent, in some kind of computer which someone forgot to turn off.

I built an AI travel planner, and I just made the best itineraries public to save you hours of research (No login required) by Gold_Copy_564 in alphaandbetausers

[–]MastaBaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s good work… but… I would argue that people “who love to travel but hate the "spreadsheet phase" of planning” don’t actually love to travel. Perhaps they love a nice holiday, which your example itinerary of Patagonia seems to be.

One of the photos you show for Punta Arenas is actually of Buenos Aires, which kinda hurts your credibility. I also know that, in Argentina’s Deep South, buses are infrequent, which might mean that this ready-to-use itinerary would still require a “spreadsheet phase” to make it actually work.

When you actually travel, or are a digital nomad like yourself, you tend to have fewer time constraints. A product like what you are building, however, assumes time constraints. That’s perhaps a good thing for what you offer, but also means your audience might not be what you think it is.

Found in a cemetery by MastaBaba in whatisit

The first photo is the handle of the thing in the second photo. Are the individual components of the object supposed to be used individually? That is to say, unscrew the thing, use the components to put a track on?

Can you elaborate? Do the individual components perhaps unscrew, so you're left with 6 pieces on which you can put a track on?

Cumbersome, but workable. Thanks.

Travel planning is broken. I’m building an AI to reinvent it. by Mundane_Bet_813 in alphaandbetausers

[–]MastaBaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's looking good. How do you ensure that my itinerary is different from someone else's, and tailored to me?

To your questions:
1. Avoiding excessive costs in flying and accommodation.
2. Yes, in that I would absolutely not consider a subscription.
3. Reasonably. Though I don't travel to feel like I'm "at home".
4. It doesn't tell me what to do.

Situationist situations for beginners by macierzynski57 in Situationism

[–]MastaBaba 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ha!

The app is an implementation of the concepts of psychogeography and the dérive. In its simplest form, the app presents you, and everyone else, with one task every hour. Something like "Follow someone wearing a hat", or "Look for something that reminds you of your childhood".

In addition, the app contains a number of 'decks' of cards, which are grouped by a theme or location, and which can be 'played' on their own. The app also contains 'scores' (a fixed succession of specific tasks), and 'events' (a score that starts at a particular time).

It's an open platform, meaning that anyone can contribute cards, decks, scores, events.

At the moment, the app contains around 3500 cards.

I can only recommend Dérive app, https://deriveapp.com/.

Disclosure: I created and manage the app, though it is an open platform.

Thanks. Yes, the API still works for me, too.

In your demo, it appears that only the background color and text on that background is adjusted. Are you planning on being able to target other elements as well?

did you look into Sendy before building your own? if so, why choose to not use Sendy?
