Hey @mulligan, how are you guys handling the geotagging/location? While traveling it can be hard to have data, so the photos you take might not have EXIF GPS data on it? Am I mistaken, or are there some creative ways you are solving this :)?
@Anderson760 thanks for the question Joe ..
unfortunately, as you might imagine there's only so much we can do here. if the photo has location data when taken, then we show it on the map. if they had location off, we dont include it on the map.
Hey all .. Happy to answer any questions about the app. iOS app is in the App Store and Android will be close behind it. Probably in the next hour or so.
@mulligan neat! I'm going to show this to my good friends currently abroad. a few q's:
-- what's the story behind this / what inspired you to make this?
-- what separates this from the others trying to do the same thing?
-- will we finally hang out at PH happy hour tonight ;)
@eriktorenberg Hey Erik -- Thanks for the questions :)
-- what's the story behind this / what inspired you to make this?
The team that built this is comprised of a bunch of travel obsessed people. We all went on a trip together a few years ago, and have been wanting to build a travel focused app ever since. We built this for fun and after using it decided that it was something that the travel community could use. It's an experiment and we're putting it out there to see how it resonates. :)
-- what separates this from the others trying to do the same thing?
Depends who the others are :)
-- will we finally hang out at PH happy hour tonight ;)
I might not make it tonight, but I'm always up for a coffee around the city. you have my email :)
Woohoo! Excited to see Tripcast on PH. This is going to be really useful for my roommate who's traveling to four different countries for two weeks.
This couldn't have launched at a better time. Great work B and team! :)
Awesome app!! When I share more than one photo, it's almost always related to travel and I'm not a big public sharer (FB, etc.) So, it's great to have a private space to do so. Also, really like the "Get Backup of Photos/Videos" feature.
