   You should down-prioritize airport codes in the search, especially since it's natural language search. I searched for a flight to Goa, and got "GOA (Genoua)". I could then correct it to a bunch of other airports, several in India but only o

    In a comment area (like on HN) it rarely makes sense to be able to add headings. Could some features of the specification be optional, so that a parser can be conforming even if it disabled those features? Are there any parsers (preferably

    I love Sass, but CSS preprocessing is not a solved problem, and I can see how this helps if you're using Yandex' BEM principle. Sass and Stylus both have feature the other one is lacking, and Less has the feature of being able to run in the
