The line with stops, still here
Better when you want the order of things rather than the shape of them — the morning of a flight, or when someone asks what we're doing on Saturday.
Four people leave from three different cities and end up on the same beach. That is not a timeline. It's a shape — and the only honest way to draw it is a map.
Places are nodes, journeys are the lines between them, and both carry documents, costs and photographs. That is the whole model — everything else is a view of it.
Chandigarh, Goa, Mumbai, Phuket, Delhi — circled, named, and joined by each traveller's own coloured route. The picture you'd send your family the day you book.
Tap Phuket and Phuket opens: the airport you land at, the cab that's already booked, the hotel circled on the coast, the places you went and photographed.
Tap the hotel and the voucher opens. Tap the airport and the boarding pass opens. Tap Open in Maps and you're walking. No folder, no inbox, no scrolling.
Mark the place you were, drop the pictures on it, and they stay there — under a small ⓘ on the map, at the exact spot on the exact coast. A year later the map is the album, and it still knows who was standing there.
Photographs here are illustrative colour, not real pictures.
One trip, four ways to look at it. The map is where you land and what everything hangs off — but the same stops, the same photographs and the same rupees are also a timeline, a photo wall and a ledger, one tap apart.
Better when you want the order of things rather than the shape of them — the morning of a flight, or when someone asks what we're doing on Saturday.
Every photo here also sits on the map, at the spot it was taken.
Filter by person, place or day. Same pool as the map's ⓘ pins — two ways into one set of photographs.
Who's coming and where each of them is starting from — answer that, and every person's route, paperwork and share of the cost falls out of it.
Three starting cities — we'll build three different routes and keep them on one map.
Where we're going, who's coming, and where each of them is now. Everything else is inferred.
Manya sees only what she has to catch, carry and pay for. Extra legs mean a bigger share — and it says so.
Manya flew two extra legs, so she owes more than Kabir. The app knows that without anyone doing arithmetic. Balances always sum to nil.
The same documents that sit on the map, gathered in one place for the airport queue — and readable with no signal for three days.
The first page is your trip map, printed. Then each city, then the photographs that were marked there.
A book that opens on the shape of the journey, then walks through it city by city. The app makes the file, page-exact and ready to print — take it to whoever you like.
Deleting destroys the key rather than hiding the row, so it is gone from the app and stays gone — including after a restore. What the screen deliberately does not claim is that no copy could exist anywhere in the world, because no honest product can promise that.
