Ellipsis Travel

Leave the spreadsheets behind and take control of your travel plans. Ellipsis is an all-in-one travel planner to help you discover great experiences, map out your options, and create a seamless trip itinerary.Hey Everyone,

I’m Dan, Founder of Ellipsis.

After years of planning trips and countless hours spent wrangling group chats, spreadsheets, Google Maps, and a myriad of blogs, I got tired of having to manually bring all the necessary information together just so I could break it into understandable chunks. Instead, my team and I created Ellipsis to centralize everything you need, from inspiration to itinerary, in one easy-to-use platform.

Why Ellipsis?
🌎 Integrated Map w/ Location Overviews: Our map-centric interface with location summaries makes finding and saving ideas a breeze 🕛Search Live Events: Discover Concerts, Tours, Festivals, and more when and where you will be traveling (Alternative – know which live events are happening before you leave!) 📑Adaptable Itinerary: Create, edit, or move around events to create a trip plan 💡 Inspiration: Browse user-created templates to fill out adventures to any location 💬Collaboration: Share with friends and plan together 📈Organization: Track budgets, bookings, and tasks

Give it a whirl and let us know what you think!

Thanks, DanCongratulation on the launch, cool idea, i wish there was some kind of template, for tutorial, and also for sharing the journey and planning of a good trip to friends, like a tour guide.@m4jiz Thanks for the feedback! We are always working to simplify on-boarding. Will consider a tutorial in the future. In the meantime, have you checked out our guides like this one, https://www.ellipsistravel.com/m... ?Hey @daniel_evans12 I know the pain. I'm currently planning a trip to Cambodia and you know what, where I store all my information in Google Docs and Sheets 🙈 ... it gets messy so fast. Especially on longer trips.

So a tool like yours is really helpful. Some quick things I've seen so far

• For the events in the itinerary I would like to add an end time as well, for example to enter the flight information on the first and last day (including time zones 😁)
• The live events feature is great, this is always something I think we miss out on because it is so hard to get information about local events, would be nice to have a community curated list here as well

Congrats on the launch 🚀@crebuh We just removed end times based on user feedback 🤣 ... we'll have to keep evaluating that one. Maybe an add action next to the start time. We've also historically had a calendar with full drag and drop for adding and setting durations, we plan to add it back at some point, but it's a little difficult to get the interactions perfect.

For time zones, we have full support in our backend, but haven't gotten to adding the forms to update them. Right now we set the timezones based on the origin and destination of the flight and then assume the user is entering all times local to their plans (i.e. the starting time would be local to the origin, and the end time would be local to the destination). We do the same with the other itinerary items.

Coming soon: We are in the process of adding flights from flight number and date.As an avid traveller, this product seems very game-changing! Looking forward to trying it out soon. Congratulations on the launch! Does this allow collaboration with other fellow travellers?@ashrita_kumar Yep! When you create a trip, you can add all of your friends by email or profile (if they have one). They can be given edit permissions or be added as read only. Any updates they make will appear real time to the other attendees.
