How to add travel warnings and tips to a trip
The things that go wrong on a trip are rarely in the guidebook. Ntripi has four note types — advice, caution, avoid and info — that attach to a single stop or to the whole trip and draw as coloured chips, so a reader meets them rather than finds them.
What each type is for#
- Advice — do this, and it will go better. "Buy the ticket online, the queue is an hour."
- Caution — this is fine, but be careful. "Busy at night; keep your bag in front."
- Avoid — don't. "The taxi rank outside overcharges; walk two streets and hail one."
- Info — worth knowing, no action needed. "Closed on Tuesdays."
The type only changes the colour and the label, so pick the one a stranger would read the way you meant it.
Add a note to one stop#
Open the stop and add a note there. It belongs to that place and travels with it if you reorder the trip.
This is where anything about a specific entrance, queue, opening time or local hazard belongs.
Add a note to the whole trip#
From the itinerary itself, a note applies to the trip as a whole — visa requirements, the season, which SIM card works, what to pack.
Trip-level notes are shown near the top, before the stops, because they usually need reading before anyone plans a day.
Notes versus the notes field#
Every stop also has a plain notes field. Use that for your own reminders — a booking reference, what to order.
Use a coloured note for anything a reader needs to act on. The difference is whether it should be easy to skim past.
