Real-Time, Verified City Chatrooms for Travelers Built Around Actual Trip Dates

I recently launched Trespot, a travel community app built around a simple idea: travelers should only see and talk to people who will actually be in the same city during the same dates.

Most “travel community” apps today are basically social networks, forums, or WhatsApp/FB groups. Anyone can join, spam is common, conversations are irrelevant, and there’s no sense of who is actually traveling versus who is just browsing.

Trespot works differently.

Users must upload a valid trip ticket (flight, train, bus) and select their real travel dates. Once verified, they’re placed into a city chatroom only for the duration of their trip. When the trip ends, they’re automatically removed.

This creates a small, temporary, high-trust community of real travelers who are physically present at the same time. People share tips, coordinate meetups, ask last-minute questions, and discover things happening around them in real time. No noise, no outdated group chats.

Trespot also includes a live activity feed for each city, and we’re building layers like an honor-based reputation system, event discovery, and even travel-based social/dating features driven by actual location and timing.

The goal isn’t to be another “travel app”, but to create a verified social layer for global travel where the interactions are meaningful and grounded in reality, not generic posts.

Would love feedback from this community, especially around scaling, product design choices, trust systems, and privacy considerations.
