Earlier quoted context omitted.

Easiest way for me to never visit a site again.

In general I would agree, but we thought this could be a nice way to reach out and thank the people who supported us today :)

It's not appropriate use of notification mechanism. It serves your need, not user need, and it does not increase revenue or NPS.

Swap the 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 (GBP) and temperatures (C) would also help!

Great work, congrats. I'd like to calculate the budget for 2 ppl and have temps in C°

There is an option to change currency on the top left corner of the homepage (which also changed the temperature to celsius).

A thousand times yes to the comment. A numeric text field would be much better and faster:

This is great; you should be proud! - There's a slight CSS issue on buttons not clearing text: http://imgur.com/a/FVvj8 - As I've entered my area, it would be useful if the "from airport" on the result page would default to "area airports" - I'd like a map view of the destinations - I'd like to be able to filter the lodging accommodations based on stars and type (personal home, BnB, hotel) as there are some regions i…

I agree. The odd UX quibble aside ( for numbers) this is great. Really awesome results.

The app already asked for my location, which I granted it. Rather than make every user fix the incorrect currency, the app should pick the correct one matching the location and let them override it if they need to.

Really cool tool. I was thinking about a similar project since a while, you built it, please keep it going! Small side note, I'm not sure if it's because of the mobile version but I find it would be great to have some more details about the exact way you've found to go there (for example, when it shows the car are transportation way, how does it get this price? Is it oil price or also tolls or shared car or public tr…

Thanks, we will! :) Some great additional options you mention there. For now, we have chosen to take averages for most of things to keep things simple and don't have the user to think about every detail. Besides, these variables differ heavily (oil prices per country differ, fuel consumption per car too, etc.) Visa information is a think we have planned to add very soon :) Also more additional information like that w…

Don't assume that everyone owns a car. Especially people who are looking for cheap trips might not have one or prefer travelling by train (which works well in western europe).

Great work! My feedback: 1)Some images don't belong to the destinations, see for example: Tsilivi from Greece 2)Add reviews / comments - in this way you'll have new content on your site (good for seo) 3)Create unique title, meta title and meta description for each destination Right now I'm looking to Capri, Italy, but the search engines don't know it because the title is DESTIGOGO and there's no meta data. This is ve…

Google doesn't use the description and keyword meta tags anymore and I imagine that other search engines don't either. It is useful for the snippets that you see on the results page, though, if your page doesn't have much content.
