A route weather and departure planner, built and launched in three weeks.
TripCaptain is our own product: a route weather and departure planner built by Launchmatic's founders. It checks forecast conditions along a route, compares departure times, offers live trip monitoring and estimates EV range in cold weather. Full product in three weeks. Visit tripcaptain.net.
TripCaptain
Check the forecast along a route, compare when to leave, and see how cold weather affects EV range.
Why we built it
TripCaptain is not a client project. Launchmatic's founders designed and shipped it. Planning a drive is more than picking a destination: weather changes along the route, the better time to leave is not always "right now," and cold weather changes how far an electric vehicle can go.
We wanted one planner for that, so we built it ourselves and put it on the internet.
What we built
TripCaptain is a route weather and departure planner. It is live at tripcaptain.net.
- Forecast conditions checked along a route, not just at the start and the end
- Departure times compared, so you can leave when the weather is better
- Live trip monitoring once you are underway
- EV range estimates that account for cold weather
The outcome
We shipped the full product in three weeks. TripCaptain is live, and because we built it, we own the code and the roadmap.
It is one of two products we point to when someone asks what we can actually ship: our own work, with a public URL, not a quote from a client.
Live in three weeks.
