I've run into the same problem for years while traveling or trying new local places. Every time a friend asked "where should I eat in Miami?" I'd spend 40 minutes digging through screenshots, saved posts, and old messages trying to piece together recommendations. Or when I'd revisit a matcha place in my area, I'd forget the exact way I ordered it. Was it two pumps of vanilla or 3? What did I like and not like about it? And how can I share this feedback with others too?
When I did find my notes, sharing them was painful. I once wrote out an entire itinerary with comments and tips for a friend. It looked organized in my Notes app but the second I pasted it into a text message it became this unreadable wall of text.
I'm surprised people haven't struggled with this as much as I have. How do you keep these discoveries and recommendations organized?

Hey everyone! I'm Isabel, and I built Snipplet because my travel recommendations were a mess. Every time I came back from a trip, friends would text me "where did you eat in Barcelona?" or "what should I do in Tokyo?" and I'd either scroll through my camera roll trying to remember or dig through my Notes app for some list I saved months ago. Half the time I couldn't even find it.
And when I did find my notes, sharing them was painful. I once wrote out an entire itinerary with comments and tips for a friend. It looked organized in my Notes app but the second I pasted it into a text message it became this unreadable wall of text. Good luck finding that again in a chat thread.
Even for myself, I'd go back to a city and not remember where that amazing restaurant was. I'd have to retrace the actual street or scroll through hundreds of photos to figure it out.
So I built Snipplet. You turn your travel memories into beautiful visual cards with your photos, favorite spots, restaurant picks, and tips. Each one becomes a mini guide you can actually share with a link and anyone can browse, save, or get inspired by. It's not just for big trips either. I use it for my favorite matcha spots, vintage record stores, and activities in my own city. No more messy notes, no more lost recommendations.
I'm a solo founder and built this from scratch. I've tested it on my own trips and rebuilt things based on what actually worked (and what didn't).
Genuinely open to any feedback, criticism, feature requests, anything. A few things I'm especially curious about:
* What would you save first, a trip or your local go-to spots?
* What's the one thing that would make you come back weekly?
* Would you actually share a snipplet with a friend?

@vikramp7470 Thanks so much! Local city guides are one of my favorite use cases. There's something great about having all your go-to spots in one place to share when friends visit. Really appreciate the support!
I've accumulated text snippets across notes, docs, and messaging apps for years. Having a dedicated place that actually makes them searchable is a much cleaner approach.

@1mirul Right? The scattered notes problem is so real. And the worst part is when you know you wrote it down somewhere but can't remember where. That's exactly what Snipplet solves. Everything in one place, easy to find and easy to share. Hope you give it a try!

local go-to spots, easily. trips are rare enough that I remember them, it's the little places around my own city that I actually lose track of and end up re-googling every time a friend visits. to answer your other question, yes I'd share one, but only if the friend could browse it without making an account first, since that's usually where I lose people when I try to send them something like this.

@galdayan Love this. The local angle is exactly what we're leaning into too. It's not just trips, it's "where was that taco spot I went to last month?" with all your notes and thoughts right there.
And great news... shared snipplet links are fully viewable without an account! Anyone you send it to can browse the whole guide, no signup needed. You can also check out what others are sharing on our explore page at snipplet.com/explore. And if they do want to sign up, it takes seconds.
Thanks for the thoughtful feedback, really appreciate it!
What I like is that it captures context along with the location. Sometimes that's what makes a recommendation memorable.
Snipplet
@gurpreet_singh89 Exactly! "Go to this restaurant" is so different from "go to this restaurant, sit at the bar, order the special, and ask for extra chili oil." That context is what makes a recommendation actually useful. Glad that resonated with you!
The embedded maps links are also supposed to make the experience of searching locations seamless!
Tried it out, pretty cool concept. excited for app release

Congrats on the launch, Isabel! The "context along with the location" point is what stood out to me too a pin on a map tells you nothing, but "sit at the bar, order the special" is the part people actually remember. No-signup browsing was a smart call. Wishing you a great launch day 🎉
