A bunch of people have tried this before... I can't think of the names off-hand, but names in a similar space that I've seen recently are http://www.emptylegmarket.com/ and http://www.flyruby.com/ I don't see how this will work - you ne

Love the app. another suggestion: add airport codes. Some of us world traveling nerds think in airport codes, and it should be pretty easy to add. Also, the "delete" function looks like a red square in my chrome version, which puzzled me

I don't live in Pittsburgh, but completely disagree with your sentiments. I went to CMU '02, then lived in Shadyside for a few years, miss the place dearly and own a few properties there (they have appreciated significantly over the past 5
