   I'd imagine this happens a lot with new ideas. Back in the day, people couldn't fathom having a mobile phone. Now, many people can't fathom not having the internet (myself included) where ever they go.

   How has the dynamic between you guys and Hipmunk been? You guys may be targeting different types of travelers but there is that shared goal of making travel better. Has there been a collaboration, or do you guys have more of a friendly riva

   Aside from RSS feeds, I personally haven't found an affordable (ie free) option. Looks like screen scraping has been the MO of many travel sites (mine included).

   I don't think it's changed e-mail as much as it is changing mobile messaging (SMS). With notifications on mobile FB apps, you can easily bypass SMS to communicate with other friends either at their computer or on their phone. There are stil

   What kind of premium would you (or the average traveler) be willing to pay for a travel agent replacement webapp? I've been thinking about this as well while working on my own travel based project. Perhaps this is an opportunity for me to p

   Yes! I mainly use my credit card for everything online, including paypal, and that trick does get me on some occasions when I'm not paying close attention. It's probably a cost saving measure as credit cards most likely cost more to transac

   Could you elaborate on why you wouldn't care? A competitor is a competitor, no matter if they're an elephant that can make waves, or a cheetah that can pivot on the dime. Shouldn't the mantra be to focus more on what your customers want/nee

    Thanks for the feedback, a loading page would be useful. What specific error are you receiving? Or is it different errors everytime? I'll have to scour my log file to see what's actually going on. Thanks again!

    Thanks! It sure does feel good to built something. The time estimates are something I'm currently working on as well, thanks for helping validate the feature list priority :-).

    Travel time and adding in the additional costs (checked baggage and such) would be useful, thanks for the feedback!

    A quick google search and test leads me to believe the app isn't playing well with Noscript. I'll have to dig down further on what the underlying issue might be. Thanks for catching that bug!

    Agree. If anything, you'll exercise your mind, learn a new skill, and can add it to your resume. Learning how to program gives you a better sense of what it takes to build something. I personally believe that if you're in startups, you shou

    Hey Emile, did you do the E-ship program at UNC by chance? I think I remember you.. Anyway, I'm following the same path (teaching myself to program to work on my own projects). It's been fun (some days I feel like I can do anything with a c

    How long have you been learning how to code? I can tell you right now that even though you know exactly what you want, you'll have to consider something called "dependencies" which is basically anything (technologies, libraries, or programm

    I was in the same position as you. Your best bet is to learn to code. Not only will you get more respect of programmers better than you, you'll understand the mental effort it takes to program, even if it's something that seems so "easy" to

    So a reason for removing one of their main product lines is because Apple is running out of Cat names? Really? What's next, there will be no more Android phones because all the treats in the bakery were taken? Edit: I don't know much about

    Sorry if I missed this in your post, but what are you currently doing with Skribit? The Skribit website (as well as your HN profile info) still has you listed prominently.

    I'm curious as to why you chose $5M and not another number like $3M or $2M? Is that the (gross) magic number to change your life financially? Edit: fixed typo.
