History
Co-founded in the Netherlands by entrepreneur Jochem Wijnands and tech/design specialist Michel Elings, TRVL started as a digital publication exclusively for iPad in 2010. It was the first iPad-specific magazine in the world and reached more than one million downloads.[1] [2]
Frustrated with the available publishing software, the TRVL team developed Prss, a mobile-first publishing platform. The Prss team and IP was acquired by Apple in 2014 to help create the Apple News Format.[3]
In 2015 Wijnands left Apple and pivoted TRVL into a booking platform aimed at travel agents.[4]
gollark: > Self replicating robots are fine just as long as you limit its intelligenceYes, I'm sure nothing could go wrong with exponentially increasing amounts of robots. That would definitely go entirely fine.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: I have a closed timelike curve in my basement for receiving screenshots from the future.
gollark: It's apparently not very effective for kidnapping (takes ages to work) but *can* give you horrible cancer and whatever.
gollark: Opposing it got considered "green" somehow by the magic of political dimensionality reduction and if that hadn't happened it might be more popular.
