Hey Folks,
I've started using couchsurfing.com for my last 'round the states trip, and discover several inconveniences with that system, for both the surfer and the host. I'm thinking about creating a new system that would be closer to airbnb so possibly safer and better defined for both the host and the surfer, but still at a cheap pricetag.
If anyone has feedback, comment, suggestion or critiques (quite a bit early for the latter, though), I'll be happy to listen.
If anyone wants to get on board with the project, PM me about how you could help. Basically, the plan would be to build a website and both an iPhone and Android apps. Looking mostly for "active" people rather than simple idea-givers.
And finally, I'm mostly thinking about building something that will be useful for people, not about building the next hi-tech venture worth millions or billions.
Cheers,
Phil
