Useful for collaborative trip planning with a simple shared link

Better than spreadsheets or Google Docs for group trips

Objections
Sign-up required before trying it; wants anonymous access
From 3 comments
This is interesting, but for me the barrier to entry is too high for me to try it out absent an urgent need. Right now I'm thinking about visiting family sometime this summer and…
wpietri on HNThank you for building this. I have been meaning to, for a few years. I would suggest that, like when2meet, this should support coordination without every person having signed…

Name is too similar to Calendly
From 4 comments
Thanks for sharing. Very trivial feedback here: Calendly has gotten pretty prominent and your app’s name is so similar that I misread it as Calendly (and wondered “why is…
elefanten on HNThis looks like a wonderful tool, but I would be hesitant to use it solely because I'm sure Calendly's IP lawyers will try to shut you down for the name. (It's similar enough…
tylermenezes on HNI like the idea but the Calendly suits may have something to say about your name.
pupppet on HN+1 as a heavy Calendly user (with plenty of friends who also use Calendly), I initially mistook this for a post promoting Calendly.

Google Calendar or Google Sheets already cover this

I would definitely use this, but Google Cal has most of these features, except the voting part. I can already collaborate on a shared cal with my friends or colleagues that sync…

Some functions buggy under load
From 1 comment
Great idea. I am finding it difficult to use however. I filed one bug, and it seems that there may be a few more. Maybe there is too much load on the service, but it seems that…

Flight tracking and arrival/departure view

Neat! A collaborative itinerary seems really useful. Any plans to add or design features around coordinating flights for these types of trips? In my experience this tends to be…

Time zone support

I think I mostly agree with you, but I definitely have a set of apps that I install for only trips. I had a trip back in November with 6 people in total, and plenty of sub-groups…

Map view and travel time between activities

Fantastic idea and looks great. I can see this going to another level if it had... 1) list of suggested travel hotspots to drag and drop 2) provided travel time information…

Check-in and check-out times
From 1 comment
This came just in time. So far I'm super happy with it. One feature I think would be cool to have would be a check in/check out time for the first and last day. Other than that I…

As a trip-it free tier user, it’s not clear to me why this is a better choice. Is the value add purely the voting?

Google Calendar

Why not just use google calendar? You can invite people to events, so it doesn’t need to be a shared calendar.
