As a traveller and occasional blogger, I like the design a lot. It feels functional and not as blatantly "social" as other sites in this vein. For my trips, I already use Google Maps to create maps with all the places I've been or want to visit in a new city[1]. I'd be very interested in using your site to create personalized maps in this vein: descriptions, photos, and comments would make my maps a lot more interesting. However, in order to do this, I'd need to be able to use different types of pins categorize my places, since having several dozen photo pins in one place would be too confusing. It would also be very useful to have a mobile app, as I use these maps on the go.

hi archagon, thanks for the feedback. it's nice to hear from people who would consider using itripd. Yes, at the moment we only support one pin style. But, the current pin system does cluster very well so you may find that the existing clustering system works well for your trips with many pins in close proximity to each other. I will experiment with some other pin designs in the meantime. There is no mobile app at the moment but the site functions well in the browser on tablets and phones. Thanks for the link to your trip :)
