Story

I kept planning trips across spreadsheets and tab soup — searching Skyscanner, copying prices, doing mental math on layovers. I wanted a single place to build a multi-stop trip with real flight data, see the route on a globe, and know exactly what it costs and how long it takes. That turned into a full platform: real Amadeus API prices, 3D arc rendering, and enough gamification to make obsessive trip planning feel rewarding.
