Re: Show HN: A travel tool to discover destinations based on your budget
#143Hi guys! My brother and I would like to show you what we have been working on for the past 6 months. What started out as a little project to learn to code together has become a full-fledged travel tool to discover destinations you wouldn't directly think of. It's called DESTIGOGO :) We are curious about what you think and happy to answer any questions you have!
I really want this... but its pretty broken atm.
1) Images are comically wrong. One "whoa" hit for me was "the blue mountains" in Canada, but the photo is from BANF, 3500 KM away and much more expensive. This makes me doubt all of the images, which makes the whole site somewhat useless.
2) Needs current temps instead of average. Current implementation has quirks like sending you to Winnipeg for sun.
3) Can't book/find dates where you can get these prices. So I can't even comment on if they are real and/or use the site for its intended purposes.
4) shouldn't suggest a holiday where I'm coming from.
keep at it though, if this worked as advertised it could be my go to site for booking vacations.

#144While your at it. I want a site that I can put in more filters:
-I can travel for x hours.
-Price between x and y.
-I accept only x transfer flights.
-Temperature in destination have to be x to y.

#145Earlier quoted context omitted.
I had the same issue, actually. I enjoy the town I live in - I'm an immigrant - but my preference is to go to new locations. The 50 mile (or km) radius is a good start, but I'd prefer it to be an adjustable radius or be able to toggle in country or out of country. Of course, in-country only might be difficult if you aren't familiar with a country.
I had clicked the "adventure" toggle. Presumably someone wanting this won't like staying in the local area.
Me too - it is my default choice when available.

#146Cool app, something I've been looking for. But what I really want is travel destination discovery, for flights (or other modes). I am in Sri Lanka, what are all the flights leaving in approx 2 weeks that I could take, under $200 (one way)
Haven't found an app that really does this well. Tried adioso, sky scanner, kayak, anyone knows something else let me know. Adioso is closest, but I still find I have to be too specific

#147Great 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. https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/79812?hl=en
Google understands and use meta description but Google don't understands/use meta keywords. Source - https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/79812?hl=en

#148This 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.
Thank you bartread :)

Hey yaur! I'll respond to the points you made:
1) I think that's an incident, we've collected all the images by hand - so the error rate should be very low. Apparently we made a mistake for the blue mountains, canada - so thanks for mentioning :)
2) True, we'll implement current temps very soon :)
3) Working on that, for now you need to select an airport from the dropdown list to ensure that the dates become visible.
4) Sure, we'll fix that.
Thank your for your feedback yaur. That would be awesome :)

Hello, I tried looking at an example trip, and when I asked it to show flights it popped up an error saying I needed to input the dates of the flight. There does not seem to be any field to pick the date in, though?
Hi skykooler! We will change it soon, but for now you need to select an airport from the dropdown list to ensure that the dates become visible.
