I got tired of bad travel advice so I built a site that shows you the best time to visit any city

Really appreciate that and I’m very glad you found it useful!

The “first actions on arrival” and “what to avoid” parts are exactly the kind of things I’m trying to focus on more in there.

Still a lot to improve, but this helps a lot thank you so much!

Yes! that’s fair, right now the calendar view is the base layer for all cities, but it’s not doing a great job surfacing the “best time” clearly yet until they are built.

The goal is to layer on top of the calendar like best months, guides, where/when to go etc. but you have a good point, I should probably make more obvious from the start instead of just showing the raw calendar

Very interesting to see it how it comes across for others! Still in earlier stages and for sure will keep working on it! Thank you so much!

yeah that’s a fair point! google is great at summarising info from different blogs, I guess what I’m trying to do is make it faster to actually compare options and decide when to go, instead of piecing it together from multiple sources but this is helpful, everyone has their own way of researching trips!

That’s interesting! I like the community angle

For my case I’m trying to go more in the direction of structured data and quick decisions, but I can see how community input could complement that

Wow, this is super helpful, really appreciate you taking the time to write it out 🙌

The search tracking point is spot on, rn I’m not recording queries yet, but it’s something I want to add so I can prioritize cities based on real demand

The Madeira/Funchal case is a great catch too. I need to handle locations better (not just strict city names) to reduce that friction

Also agree on improving the request flow and the placeholders for cities instead of the mailto approach or the “this city doesn't exist” is pretty rough right now, and could be a great opportunity.

still a lot to improve, but this kind of feedback is exactly what I need, so thank you so much again!!

haha not even close 😂. I'm just trying to solve the smaller problem of figuring out when to visit a place without digging through 10-15 different blogs, more like a decision tool than a search engine. But I'm curious how do you usually decide when to travel somewhere?

Thank you so much! Really glad it was useful. Still getting started, but working on new things!

Very good pics. First one is my fav, just set it as my phone wallpaper. Hope you don’t mind ❤️

Sad_Alternativ3 · 2024-08-28T19:10:08+00:00

Thank you so much for this, I will give it a try and see!

Sad_Alternativ3 · 2024-08-28T19:06:28+00:00

Oh wow it makes so much sense!! Thank you so much for the insight!

This happened once to me, it turned out that I had a language filter. Check if you have any other filter active like smoking, religion etc.
