Travocado simplifies planning the logistics of your group camping trip.

- Send invites and collect rsvps.

- Coordinate rides and carpooling.

- Create lists of supplies and figure out who's bringing what.

- Plan meals and schedule of activities.

- Submit expenses and calculate how much each person owes.

- Chat real-time or offline with other trip members.

- Receive regular email updates on recent chat activity, the progress of planning, and your own personal to-do list.

- An email at the end of the trip tells each person how much they owe and the methods by which they can pay the organizer.

- Works for camping trips, Coachella, Burning Man, any type of coordinated group trip!

I'm a solo developer/designer/entrepreneur and this started out as a learning project so I could learn node, react, postgres, isomorphic rendering. It turned out to be a solid idea so I quit my job and have been working on this full-time for the last few months.

We just came out of private beta and now looking for a wider audience to give us feedback and help guide us to be the trip planning tool you've always wanted! (I'm not a designer by trade so I'd love feedback if the UI is confusing anywhere.)

Interesting concept, but the UI is a little confusing, or maybe it's just that features aren't functional yet. The primary navigation is not apparent to me.
