I was thinking this tool might be useful for just coordinating meetings.
However the login error makes it hard to test/give any feedback:
There is a silent error where Google login fails, and the rest of the app does not work properly after that point.

Huh, thank you! I've been fighting with google auth for a bit now and may just drop it. i'll look into that, thanks!
What browser did you use? Did the google workflow complete at least?
Good call on the meeting idea, especially for folks who aren't in the same org / can't see each others schedules for example.

The Google login workflow did not even start.
It seems to work on mobile Safari, though.
If all participants need to create an account, I think that will be a major dealbreaker.
I suggest supporting guest/anonymous accounts. Let people start right away with zero friction, then later give them the option to create a full account.

Just pushed up a quick change to the app. If you have a moment to try the login again, I'd love to see if I fixed your issue. Thanks for giving it a shot!
Yes, I can log in now.
I tried on both mobile Safari and desktop Chrome, but the app in its current state is too "clunky" for me to use.
The workflow for creating a trip is unintuitive and disorienting.
- Perhaps putting the trip details, destinations, and dates on the same page would help.
- OR at least have a starting point linking to all three would help.
- OR a "wizard" outlining all the steps
I may be more invested if I agreed to use this app in advance (to plan a trip with friends/family), but the workflow for the invitation link is even worse because I am forced to create an account before I can see any details about the invitation.

Fantastic, thank you for the great input! Really appreciate you taking the time to look through it and give honest feedback.
Totally agree on most of that, I'll add it to my checklist!

Thank you much! I'll try to repro on my end.
You're not the first person to say that; I do need some basic info though in order to keep in touch so this was a quick way to get that info. But agree, I intend on making a public view and people can join if they want (and then create possibly)

I've found in the past that email/text makes it tricky to get everyone to get a sense of the details of a trip, and also puts one person in the position to be persistent and spend a lot of time ensuring everyone's needs are met. This simple app attempts to ease that process and keep everyone in sync.
It's similar to Troupe but aiming to focus on the basics of the upfront coordination rather than the activities/itinerary (at this point)
Would love feedback and thoughts on the current state and where the best places to take it next are. It's a bit barebones at this point but more coming soon!
Behind the scenes it uses flutter/firebase
