Recommend using service like clerk to make signup/in easy. ( https://clerk.com/pricing ). Free for first 10k users.

No, never got email. Auto-marking words makes more sense.

This is a great, and b/c pulling from podcasts, can handle hard languages (eg. Hungarian). Smart. Some thoughts: - Buttons to click thru examples for words, waiting is slow - Partial load of podcast screen (for speed) - Playback contro

BonBook optimizes for efficiency. What's your use case?
5.
by themagyar 2y ago
Maybe; BonBook never will.

Appreciate the context. That's the plan, cheers.

Logs look clear.. what are you searching for?

Beta turns booking into two clicks.
9.
by themagyar 2y ago
Beta (and sim) intentionally does not search them.
10.
by themagyar 2y ago
The sim has limited ability to make it lightweight, free from signup and responsive in ~15 seconds. Beta is much more capable. GFlights is not used, link is there for comparison.

Depends on the detail. There are a few simple ones (eg flightlab).
12.
by themagyar 2y ago
Yes, this is a bit more complicated but on the roadmap. Great suggestion.
13.
by themagyar 2y ago
Yes, the internet did in fact drop the ball. Fix is live.

We had a bug with one of our external provides earier this morning, but its now resolved.

by themagyar 2y ago
The beta is email-based booking, changes and more. The demo simulates the search experience via email.

Checkout link in beta provides details. But you can request both :)

UPDATE: We're back!

Hi HN: Looks like LLM API calls started being rejected. Working on a solution...

Can't handle multi-date (yet).

Noted re the EU. Though there's another side to it as well. BonBook does more than just booking (eg. one-email changes) and many budget airlines make this difficult with their restrictive fare rules.
21.
by themagyar 2y ago
Thanks. Definitely more complicate than originally imagined. A lot of this can be done automatically with time (eg, already built an auto-seat algo), but there is a reason the beta is focused on frequent fliers solving logistics problems an

Can share a bit of background: (TLDR; airlines want to keep more profit so are witholding some fares.) A system called GDS (Global Distribution System) was built in the 60s as a data transmission standard. Was used by airlines to publish fa

Yes, the demo doesn't localize results. And Beta doesn't have currency support just yet but it's on the list. Beyond the price differences, airlines also grant scoped 'ticketing authority' in jurisdictions (eg. can

Calling it 'scheduled booking'. It's on the roadmap :)
25.
by themagyar 2y ago
Worth noting: if you don't specify a time of day in your search, you will see the cheapest flight on that day. Bots can analyze several thousand flight options (which even the sim does) in a few seconds. So odds are it catches a deal s

The email sim doesn't allow booking but should still work to demo functionality. And it's not geo-limited. What are you seeing?
27.
by themagyar 2y ago
Yes, its on the roadmap. Zooming out, crypto gets super interesting in terms of industry dynamics. If you shoot a note to the contact email, will take a look.

Fair, beta isn't for everyone. It's geared towards frequent fliers and people who want to save time. But lets break down the points: -> cheapest?? Frequent fliers are primarily concerned with time efficiency. -> shortest&

Email sim doesn't have this (can't actually buy tickets). And haven't built out currency support for the beta yet but its on the list.

Thanks. Built this sim in a few days. Iterating the beta since summer.
