In the conclusion, you say: > What’s next? Well you can extend your app by adding payment options, email notifications, user feedback. . . Aren't those core features of AirBnB? That's like saying "Next, you build the entire application." So you really haven't built a clone at all, you've just built an empty shell with a tiny fraction of the functionality.
Wow, seeing this at the top of this thread really makes me feel HN is jumping the proverbial shark. The entire post is not a "Hey, fuck BnB, we can do it in 2 hours!". It's about how you can quickly iterate an application using StackMob. It's a tech demo, showing off StackMob, not putting down BnB. Christ. :/
Almost every single non-reply post on this article is criticizing how much the app isn't AirBnB. Maybe the new measure of success on HN is finding the excellent discussions under those criticizing posts? Those criticizing top posts always have a huge amount of discussion under them.
