Clean, attractive design
From 3 comments
Not just the idea, I love the design. One of the cleanest web app I've come across. Neat!
abhishekjain_90 on HNReally attractive design. One thing that was a bit annoying on mobile was that there was several prompts all at once. (location, add to home, etc.) Location prompt makes sense,…
jfoster on HNThose are some absolutely stunning photos! I love the design and layout.

The temperatures are all wrong. There's no way it's 70F in Barcelona or 75F in Oludeniz.

I dig it this. If I have $2000 and a 4-day weekend coming up, I want you to email me places that my family can go at a certain budget. I fly out of HSV most often and it is one…

Location and notification permission requested too early
From 2 comments

jfoster on HNGood idea, but: 1. upon loading, the web site immediately asks permissions for sending notifications and access to my location - that's too early and because of that, of course,…

Requests
Celsius temperatures and local currency support
From 4 comments
That's awesome, I can totally see myself using it. One request though, temperatures in °C, Fahrenheit is pretty much meaningless to me.
sitharus on HNSwap the <select> tag for a text input: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUkMCQR4TpY Just let users type in a number rather than having to find it on your list. Local currencies…
nailer on HNThis is nice and almost perfect, the only improvement I would like is to change the metrices, I live in South Africa and it would be very nice if I could see my prices in ZAR…
thasaleni on HNThe page looks awesome, I'll try to use it when deciding my holydays. Quick feedback: It would be awesome to have the option to have Celsius degrees instead of Farenheit. Also,…

jfoster on HNI love the look and the ease of selecting a destination idea. When it shows out-of-country options like "Grand Cayman" it routes your flights from your location to "FL" (closest…
