2.1.0

10 additions
  • Trips Added a magazine-style page for public trips, with chapters, stays, days, an address book of every place and a map, shown to everyone you share the trip with
  • Trips Added "View as shared" and "Copy link" to the planner, to see a trip as others do and pass on its link
  • Trips Added dragging places from the list beside the itinerary onto a day, or between a day's places
  • Trips Added planning a place on a day from its popup on a trip's map, which also shows the day it's on
  • Trips Added rescheduling a place from its "In this trip" pill in the places list
  • Trips Added a pencil next to tonight's stay on a chapter's later days, to stay somewhere else from that night: it starts a new chapter there and goes on to choose its stay
  • Trips Added an optional end time to places and notes planned for an exact time, shown in the itinerary as "14:00–15:30"
  • Added opening hours to places to eat, to discover and to shop, under "Good to know", with today highlighted
  • Profiles Added a choice between a 24-hour and a 12-hour (am/pm) clock, which times in trips and on place pages follow
  • Curators Added opening hours to the place form and the place details JSON, for places to eat, to discover and to shop, with several time ranges a day, closing after midnight and open 24 hours
8 changes
  • Changed the trip's map link to carry the trip's name, "Map of Summer 2026", like the chapters' links
  • Trips Changed the wall's pins on a trip's map to outlines, so the trip's own places stand out in solid black
  • Trips Changed the trip page to open on the map, with the list of places a switch away
  • Trips Changed "Add to trip" in the places list to ask for a day and time, or to leave the place in Places to plan
  • Trips Changed a planned place's menu and popup to "Reschedule" and "Remove", which sends it back to Places to plan; "Remove" in Places to plan takes it out of the trip
  • Trips Changed adding a place to stay to a day whose chapter has no stay yet, which now makes it that chapter's stay
  • Trips Changed planning a place or note to a choice between a part of the day and an exact time, never both
  • Updated the place popup to the new design, with a fine black line and a simple close button
Improvements
  • Trips Improved link previews for shared trips on social media and in messages, with the trip's name, description and a photo from it
  • Trips Improved a chapter's first day, which now starts at the stay you woke up in
  • Improved place pages to show bold, italics, links and lists in descriptions, room notes, dining advice and practical details as formatting instead of stray asterisks
  • Curators Improved importing place details so empty or "unknown" values, "yes" and "no", and capitalised option names no longer fail
  • Curators Improved the wording of budgets, the room pick and room notes in the form and the JSON schema, so the AI fills them in correctly
7 fixes
  • Trips Fixed times in the "Choose a day" form, which browsers showing AM/PM rejected as invalid
  • Fixed place texts showing Markdown markers when a place has no summary and its shortened description is shown instead
  • Fixed the icon bar on place pages to show "Historic setting" as the title, with the building's former use beneath it, like "Urban setting"
  • Fixed "Worth knowing" on place pages repeating a point that already appears word for word under "A few things to plan" or in the practical facts
  • Fixed Safari's blue focus ring showing when a dialog opens or after a click; keyboard focus now shows a fine black outline
  • Curators Fixed importing place details failing when the Michelin rating was empty, null, "none" or 0, which now mean no rating
  • Curators Fixed "Budget min must be an integer" errors by reading amounts like 120.5, "€120" or "1,200" as whole euros, with a clearer message when a budget can't be read
