Hey guys!

For the past 6 months my brother and I have been rebuilding our travel tool,

which now finds the best travel deals to anywhere in the world - instantly.

We'd really appreciate your feedback!

Compared to first version, DESTIGOGO 2.0 contains a lot of innovations - including:

- Flexible date range search

- Advanced ‘Travel Theme’ filtering options

- Compare Flights from all airports near you

- Bucketlist feature to save destinations for later

- Instagram integration

- 2.000+ Destinations

- Not only big ‘Airport Cities’, but smaller villages with an airport nearby as well

- Flights integration in cooperation with Skyscanner

- Accommodation integration in cooperation with Booking.com

We are curious about what you guys think and happy to answer any questions you have!

Wow! Thank for your great amount of feedback wanda! Learnt a lot from this :D

Thanks for putting so much work in writing this all, really appreciate it! Will implement these optimizations ASAP!

Our code indeed looks awfull but we just wanted to ship now, since we just finished it and it functioned well enough. We decided to clear it up later (very soon though) so your tips and suggestions are amazing :)

Hi Raresp!

Thank you for your awesome feedback!

1) True, but it belongs to Zakynthos island, where Tsivili is located. Sometimes we had to choose for a more general place near the city we are mentioning, to get a decent image. And since it is very near, we think it's ok (When you will go to Tsivili, you definately will visit Navagio beach (Shipwreck Beach).

2) Planning to!

3) Good one! Is it ok to generate it dynamically (does Google find it in then?)

4) We'll thake that into account! But we'll first focus on developing the web app further and add features :)

Thank you!

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 :)

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 we are planning to implement soon :D
