Really attractive design. One thing that was a bit annoying on mobile was that there was several prompts all at once. (location, add to home, etc.) Location prompt makes sense, but you may want to save the add to home prompt for a little bit later.
I see that you're using Booking & Skyscanner, so maybe it's one of those, but where do the beautiful destination images come from?
- kevinjoling 10y agoThanks a lot! :) I get your point, it really is a bit annoying. Fortunately these are only shown once haha. Yes that's true, but we are only using them for flights and hotels. The images come from Shutterstock. Firstly we hand curated 650+ destinations, then we hand picked all the images and bought them at shutterstock :') They are all beautiful, but it was a real pain in the ass selecting them haha. We did like 50 pics in 3 hours..
- clay_to_n 10y agoBest practice is to not ask for permissions upon first page load - too many people will leave immediately. Instead, ask for them when they are relevant - for location, maybe once they click the "From" box. For notifications, build your own in-app message explaining why the user wants notifications. If they "Accept" your own box, show them the actual notification request. Many people, especially HN users, will have ill-will against a site that immediately wants to send pop-ups to their browsers. It feels too much like spam, trying to catch unaware users. If you explain why first, it's less intrusive.
