An app for finding the best hotels for traveling with kids.
It was basically crawling the booking.com API and then applying an algorithm to figure out if a property was suitable for families with children or not. It would do the usual. Parse descriptions and try to find keywords there, parse and count the number of comments mentioning family-related topics, up-score hotels with certain facilities and then push the images through Google Cloud Vision APIs to re-order the images putting first the ones with children, pools, playgrounds, etc.
With that done, just an app to find hotels by searching anywhere.
It was more built for personal use but ended up being quite attractive. But marketing apps is hard so never really pushed it. Then, also... covid happened.

- sugarkjube 6y agoRumour is due to covid a babyboom is coming, so soon there will be a lot of potential for your app.
- Flimm 6y agoThere might be a baby boom after Covid-19, but right now, we are expecting a baby bust. Economic uncertainty is leading people to delay having children, at least in certain countries.

- mindhash 6y agothis is a good idea. Keep it up. People are starting to travel, atleast in India. There will be a surge in tourism as soon as the vaccine reaches its potential. Most people in my circle are dying to travel. So stick around man
- yitchelle 6y agoHad a similar idea to mine the booking.com data for cheap hotels. Kinda like Scott's cheap flight but for hotels. I started the project but life got in its way.
