I think you should change your demo trip, I clicked on it and got annoyed about how pedantic (for lack of a better word I can think of) the 'rules' were:

  Trip Rules
  No pets
  No parties
  Quiet after 11pm
  Alcohol allowed
  No drugs
  No marijuana allowed
I mean it is realistic for a yoga trip, but in a demo you'd want to showcase the most fun way to use this, not the most patronising way.

Interesting. I’m a totally different persona over here as those rules are appealing. If a trip is focused on co-working and climbing then I’d prefer to keep it mellow, get some sleep, get up early, etc.
I think the parent post is making the point that “less is more” here. The app could be used by all sorts of groups.
Appreciate the feedback! I’m personally less rules based as well aside from no parties, that’s probably strictly required by most lodging. Aside from that I agree.

Keep in mind these are all configurable by the trip planner in the UI
