No indication of this on the YC page, twitter, or FB. Likely trolling, but we'll know for sure tonight. EDIT: Definitely trolling. See katm's (I'm guessing Kat Manalac's) post above.

I'm sorry. I was trolling.

that was pretty cruel...

Invite or not-- if you applied with an interesting demo or product, and you're able to share it, please do. Would love to see what's cooking.

Live: https://tripdelta.com - finding flights like a travel hacker. Feedback greatly appreciated :)

Liked the idea and would definitely try out. It was a little slow on my end matching the airports to my input the first time around. For the flights that I tried I received options with savings raging from $50 to $100 compared to Kayak. But when I tried to book I was sent to "http://www.skyscanner.com/" and received a message that no flights matched my query. Also: I was given no "tripdelta Result", In what case should this appear or work best? (my search was for a trip from South America to Europe).

That's the biggest problem I have with flight search as well- redirection.

I Am Near is a platform that allows any type of digital content to be associated to a particular context where context is the intersection of who, when, and where. The first URL is the landing page the other URLs are test accounts that bypass authentication. For some reason the test URLs can be a bit touchy, ripping them out tonight, if you get a blank page just refresh. Landing Page URL. http://www.iamnear.com/ Test…

I didn't understand the concept. Who would use this? What are you solving?

We are only available in Berkeley right now but this is what we have https://www.parachuteup.com/

Liked it! Would definitely try it if available at my location. What's the pricing? Revenue model?

If you want to see some cool tripdelta results, here are a few you might like and showcase what we can do:

Regarding skyscanner: We are working on this issue! Background: Skyscanner gives you different results depending on where you're from. Sometimes results that we get will not show up in Skyscanner because of this or you have to reload Skyscanner to receive proper pricing.
