Yes.

You can find the details of the front end architecture in one of our older blog posts: http://blog.cleartrip.com/2012/04/10/cleartrip-account-gets-...

So, it doesn't deserve to be on the front page of Hacker News because it's Indian?

I couldn't agree more about Google sticking up for what's best for Google. And while I don't agree that we need more government regulation and intervention, we do need to call Goog…

@nerd_in_rage -- we originally started with purely text as an approach. You can see one of our older blog posts here where we talk about the simplicity and clarity afforded by "Jus…

We hadn't thought of releasing the icon, but we're quite happy to do that for the community to use. We'll try and do that shortly.

Our thoughts exactly -- it's not an icon that has any inherent meaning, which we thought made it too vague for usage without a text label.

To be perfectly honest, we didn't test for differently worded labels at all. So, we'd be outright lying if we said what you're asking us to. We agree that we need to work on improv…

Yep. We agree that we need to work on improving the design of the feature and we will be doing just that. “X seats left at this price” is a better label, but may be too long to fit…
