24 alternatives to Photerra: Social Travel & Trip Planning
Hey HN — I'm David, and I built Photerra to solve a problem I kept running into: planning trips meant juggling dozens of browser tabs, Google Sheets, and the same recycled "top 10" lists everyone else sees. Photerra turns geolocated photos into map spots you can organize into trips, share with friends, and book from — all in one flow. The core idea: photos with GPS → actual spots on a map → drag into trip days → share → book. What makes Photerra different: • Real locations, not just POIs — Your photos have EXIF GPS data, so you're adding exact spots (that actual spot on the trail, not just…
