Gotcha. Looks great. Should get that page created right after the GET STARTED.

I guess my only criticism is on my initial experience. It feels like a better expedia, nothing more.
The core value of your site is that it lets people plan their trip together. But that's not the impression I am getting when I start using it. Maybe the first step should be: Where are you planning your trip? What for? and Hopon would create a unique URL for my trip and everything I do from there gets saved at that URL. Maybe I can customize that page too, create a Facebook private event (with my hopon trip URL linked on that fb page somehow). Then from there, I can invite friends, etc. Get the idea?
I tried the web version, maybe the ios version is different. Hope this helps!
These people probably work their ass off during their 40, 60, or maybe 80 hrs on the job. So they dont understand when they ear that startups' work schedule is more relax because they cannot relate to it. However, when they leave their desk, it's over, they're up to something else and they probably even force themselves not to think about work anymore.
Startups take a relaxing approach to work hours because the (right) person who works there lives and breathes startup 24/7.
It's easy to say when you're a founder (disclaimer: I am one). But it is something I have witnessed in (good) startup employees as well. They think about it all the time.
@falcolas is right, who the hell cares how many hours in the week you spent executing your tasks? Shouldn't the time "thinking" about work be valued as much as "executing" the work? Don't we all "think" better outside of execution time?
e.g. in Tuxxedo, why would 'actions' be named 'add', 'remove', 'edit' or 'get'. Why not following CRUD or POST/DELETE/PUT/GET convention? That's just one example.
It feels like the front-end developer community tends to over-engineer things these days.

Founded 2 startups and worked on over 30+ client projects. One of them had 10M+ users. Have experience working with remote teams. Have a network of highly skilled developers when needed.
The people I know concerned by their privacy use µBlock/adblock in combination with proxy/TOR. Plus, using a privacy-concerned search engine does not address that concern after the user clicks on a search result. Most website in this world use Google Analytics. If someone has an aversion to Google, GA should be more of a concern than Google Search.
I wonder: what would it take to disrupt Search? In other words, what set of features would make people stop using Google Search? The experience would have to be fundamentally different. Perhaps privacy could be part of the equation but not only. Something like Vurb in my opinion is a good candidate. It displays the results in such a way that one does not necessarily have to click away.
