Readit NewsNote that you track your progress seeing the minutes played and the words marked as known when you click on the button on the top right in the "Profile" tab.
Is the signup not working for you?
- Buttons to click thru examples for words, waiting is slow
- Partial load of podcast screen (for speed)
- Playback controls for podcasts would be nice (skip, ff, 1.5x)
- Define word in hover would probably be faster/more seamless + pronunciation
- Search bar for known words + alphabetical.. (OR if heard N times -> known)
Also, get the avoidance of gamification, but would like some sort of progress tracking (mins listened, lexicon, % of top 1k frequency). Will play some more when signups work.
When you say that shortest/fewest stopovers/shortest stops are all synonyms for efficiency, this is true, but also misses human factors. Some people prefer a single flight at nearly all costs, some people prefer to have shorter flights with stopovers even if the total time spent is slightly longer. Ask someone if they'd rather have a 45 minute stopover or a 1.5 hour stopover and I bet most would choose the latter, despite taking more time.
> time of day?? Easy, just add it to your request (works in sim too).
This also misses the fact that everything is about tradeoffs. I'd like a flight after 9am, the tool tells me that will be A$500, oh yeah, you know what I don't mind flying at 8:30am for A$200.
I think for a tool like this to work beyond a specific audience of optimisation nerds who only care about their time, it needs to treat everything as negotiable, and then present sensible alternatives outside of spec. Sacrifice time for lower stress, sacrificing seat preference for sooner flight, sacrificing airline preference based on price, sacrificing destination based on availability.
Being close to someone doing this job, and having travelled a fair bit of long haul over the last few years, I know that "efficiency" is very nuanced with personal preferences, that most people don't give even a fraction of the required information to be able to actually do this well and back and forth is necessary.
I wish you all the best of luck, if you can make it work, great!
Is this a frontend to google flights? Sabre integration might get you the info you need to do these queries.
Beta is much more capable.
GFlights is not used, link is there for comparison.
Currently you cannot navigate await from the screen that says "Waiting for your link click", so you will need to open the email in a different app than your browser, or in a different tab.
Sorry about the trouble, I will make this more clear in the UI. If you want you can email me at contact at langturbo dot com and I can look into it.
