growing up is just messaging everyone you know across 87 platforms "are you in [this place] on [these dates]" over and over again until you eventually die

There must be a better way

[it's a really tricky and nuanced social product challenge]

The problem is you want to signal your travel plans to everyone*

*except person A for this trip and person B and C for that trip

You can try to narrow it down to just close friends but a) the dynamic still occurs with friends and b) you then end up with too small of a circle to make the product loop work reliably

But who are "people"? How do you signal broadly but with intention? What happens when people who you don't wanna see on that trip indicate that they're around?

what I really want is 
> signal my interest in trip ABC
> gather intel on conflicts/caveats to inform booking

Ie my dates are usually flexible and depending on when people are around/free I could make adjustments
