We review the web presence of a business as our core product offering for payment processors, etc. as they look to onboard ecomm merchants. This (and techniques like it) make a gre…

I've found rapidfuzz to be a good, digestable C/Python integration. It's especially nice as the algorithms implemented in C frequently have good pseudocode or other language repres…

Seriously. As an engineer and engineering leader, I cannot maintain focus to code, sit in meetings, and a variety of other tasks for more than 2-3 hours without a break. It is good…

ZoomInfo is in the same general area on quality and the price per record is competitive, but they have historically required a high minimum annual spend and have a reputation for l…

For a typical db.t3.xlarge instance, you're talking about 29c/hour vs 27.2c per hour. That's $157.68 as the total difference for one year's runtime, when the whole instance cost fo…

Generally speaking, it's inadvisable to 'discard' migrations with django. If the migration set is getting too large, the general practice is to 'squash' migrations, which is a djan…

I think this is a really naive idea, I think you're seriously underestimating the level of complexity in a real estate transaction. You're dealing with what is for many people is t…

Our latest release should have more clear language on airports and 'All London Area Airports' as opposed to 'City of London Airports'. The point about multiple airlines should also…

Thanks. Our roadmap isn't currently public, but this is on it. That being said, this is a medium-term priority, so definitely not something coming in the next couple weeks.

Works in all Chromium browsers actually. Support for Firefox and Safari is on the way, but does require some more work.

As a simple example, United probably isn't going to offer a flight where one leg is on United and another is on American. Yet, it might be substantially cheaper or less painful to …

Your gut reaction is not wrong. That being said, I think it's wise to pick the right time to leverage this capability. Our resources are extremely limited at the moment in comparis…

I don't know which is the biggest, there are a lot of known unknowns still floating around. Will we run out of money before we monetize? Will we have to deal with constant lawsuits…

I don't think this is a big city thing. I live in a medium sized city in the states and I hate going to the airport. 20-30m commute there, parking, walk, wait in line, go through t…

Thanks for the feedback. Re: codes: yup, that's a bug and will be fixed (or at least the obvious one will be...) Re: performance - this is on our radar, and we'll keep chipping awa…

We don't handle the booking, we redirect you to the travel site that we found the best price on. Many online travel search agencies and metasearch sites can put together itinerarie…

There are a few reasons: 1.) When a user reports an issue to us, it is much easier to find any issues in our error reporting stack. if we have their name and email address attached…

I think I've gotten them all. Appreciate you bringing this to my attention!

Candidly, the Firefox extension framework is significantly nicer. Blam'ing chrome.runtime.lastError. There's a lot of small amounts of work to get everything working right using th…

The short answer is because certain airlines behave in ways I can best describe as 'scummy'. Some airlines are now demanding anti-consumer provisions when they do deals with travel…

A big part of why we're crowdfunding is to be able to grow the team and support more platforms (e.g. Desktop Firefox & Safari, mobile devices)

There shouldn't be any reference to a subscription. Can you let me know where you saw one? We used to have this setup as a paid extension, but pivoted away as that business model d…

I tested locally with noscript installed. After giving the extension permissions to run scripts, everything worked for me. If you've blocked FlightPenguin, chrome extensions, or an…
