I was a part of design team on couchers.org, this was in fact my first UX project I have ever participated in. I was also a vivid couchsurfer and get extremely sour how they introduced monetization, they also banned all couchers.org team from using the platform without giving any reason or so.
If there is a chance trustroots, couchers and other free and open hospitality platforms will ever be able to be interoperable, this is bullish AF π
