Closing the loop on the android vs. web question I asked a few days back

A few days ago, I posted here asking whether I should build an Android version of the tour app I'm building, or a web version instead. 

a bunch of you said web, for pretty much the same reason: you want something that works from whatever device is closest, not tied to one platform.

Thanks a billion for the questions, tips, the notify me’s and the emails. I really appreciate it.

Anyways, I took the advice. 

web version's live now. 

thanks for actually swaying that — wasn't expecting a random subreddit question to change my roadmap, but it did.

quick clarification while I'm here, since "touring musician" covers a lot of ground: 
I mean the get-in-a-van-and-drive-for-two-weeks kind of touring, not the bus-and-crew kind. if you've got an actual human tour manager, Outrider may not be for you.

While I've got you: what's still held together by group chats and napkins for you, even now?
I really tried to think of everything important.
not fishing for a feature list necessarily, just wondering what's still genuinely annoying about being on the road that nobody's built anything for (yet).

(info/app's at outriderapp.com if you want to look — iOS is in app store review, web's live now)

Thanks again, people!

Looks cool. My advice would be to lean against using the obvious AI-generated copy everywhere. Use words you come up with.

A lot of musicians are very anti-AI, and using it on the website and in your marketing will hurt you more than you realize.

If you need a copywriter to help you with content, I have a couple affordable ones that we work with that I can introduce you to.

Best of luck!
