Is this a real product it just a AI-generated homepage with promise of one? (I haven’t signed up for early access).
g105b•1d ago
I signed up. Every piece of functionality is "coming soon" as far as I can tell. I'm not sure what the purpose of putting it on Hacker News is other than to validate a product before it's built.

Seems to be a classic tarpit idea as well.

agreed

Let's hope they didn't actually waste money building this. Lets break this down.

- Travefy already does itineraries and has an API.

- Who needs SIM Activation? We all have virtual sims and global roaming.

- Visa submissions cannot be automated - tricky government websites.

- Local time, weather and air quality? iPhone does that.

- Idea for a destination? Ask Chatgpt

- Airline Check-in? Airlines have moved to auto-check-in

- Hotel Check-in? Front desk in most international hotels needs you to be present to show passport and credit card with PIN.

Nothing truly useful here. Do some more brainstorming.

Let me ask you how many tools do you use; how many bookings do you make and how much time do you spend on that in total if you go for a multi-city trip?
JSR_FDED•1d ago
Having to bounce in and out of different tools gets old quick.

Having one place to track issues like visas (even if it’s just the timing around them), and tax residency is pretty good.

How much time to allow to get to/from the airport is a big deal. In Jakarta it sometimes takes 45 min, and other times 4 hours depending on time of day, day of the week, and weather. I’ve missed flights I thought were unmissable.

If air quality is bad you might book a hotel with more amenities indoors. The weather helps me decide what to pack.

Currencies are helpful. It would be good to know how much cash I need for taxis, etc.

Depending on your budget, choosing local eSIMs is much cheaper than global roaming ones.

Now do all of that for several destinations. I see tons of potential, especially if they add local knowledge.

ilyagruzhevski•1d ago
Yes, It is a real product. The solution is based on my own and other travellers' experience (I've been nomadic for 4 years). I deployed the early access last week to collect feedback - to see if my assumptions are good enough to continue. So not all features are available yet. But it's already in development.
ilyagruzhevski•1d ago
I want to reimagine the whole travel planning process, because it has become painful and very time consuming to arrange a journey - have to remember lots of aspects across different platforms, apps and channels.

For example, here is how the flight search is going to work (spoiler "no search at all") - https://x.com/globallybased/status/1929961280594473270

Pretty new to HN. Are PoCs commonly shared?

It's a few months late but: Welcome! Take a look at https://news.ycombinator.com/newswelcome.html

Prof of concepts can be posted if they are interesting, whatever interesting mean and whatever the hivemind thinks is interesting.

For something like this post, a site that works only in one city may be fine, but a waiting list no.

For personal projects you can take a look at https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html but similar criteria apply to other projects like blog posts. It's not necessary that they are 100% finished, but they usually get more traction when they are well written and interactive and it's clear it's not a stupid thing that the author did in 5 minutes. Warning: You may get unrequested feedback!

PS: Looking at your comment history, most of them are too short. It's generally better to write longer comments. It's not a hard rule, but it takes a few years to guess when a short comment is a good one.
