Alternative to TripIt = TripWaffle

[patrickw]

+1 on the robot handling imports from various booking sites.
I've been sending everything to TripIt Pro & TripWaffle and the auto-import rate is 50% vs. TripWaffle's 100%. Well done on the import bot.

I'd like to make a small feature suggestion for the webcal feature.

1. Show local dates on the calendar items (flights, hotels, bookings etc.)

e.g. TripIt Pro shows the following

Fri, Oct 2
12:00 PM UTC-03
Depart Hotel XYZ
<Other details like phone number etc.>

vs. Tripwaffle's

Check out: Fri, 2 Oct at 12:00pm

The extra date detail would help the user orient the day of the week in local terms, especially when planning a trip from a different time-zone.
Details like hotel phone number, address etc. would be a nice to have in the webcal, but not critical IMO.

The MCP feature is cool! I've been playing around with it today. Claude looked at an upcoming trip and pointed out some gaps and potential issues. I was able to say "Can you please add some plans for the 23rd? I'll have Dinner with Tim, and then stay at Tim's house at aaaaaa Street, bbbbbbb.".

Tripwaffle's extractor somehow decided from "Sydney, NSW" that the event would be at a far fancier looking place than the pub I suspect we'll go to Anyway, it's a really cool way to add ad-hoc events and 'chat' with your trip. Thanks a lot!

Thanks for reaching out- these additions have been made and should be evident next time your calendar app refreshes its data from our server.

It's a bit of a headspin the possibilities it opens up right?

Thanks for pointing out the extractor issue; we're chasing it down.
