YOSO - You Only Search Once

YOSO, you only search once does exactly what it says on the tin. Helping couples in long distance relationships find the best place to meet with 1 flight search!

Whats that about?

Well, after my husband and I got married we spent 3 years in a long distance relationship. For anyone in that situation you can appreciate that a) it sucks but b) It also sucks even more when you are trying to organize a trip!

You know the feeling. You on one phone, them on another, each on a laptop, each with a million tabs opening up discussing the location of your next trip, manually scrolling through each option, hopelessly searching for the one option that doesn’t break the bank for both of you, doesn’t take 30hrs to fly to, and doesn’t mean you will arrive 6 hours after your party.

YOSO alleviates this by letting both travelers find their flights, and book them, at the same time! There are 3 algorithms that optimize the desitnation by price, duration of travel or where you want to land!

Check it out here!

What's behind the product?

  • Front-end (HTML/CSS/JS), designed with a combination of templates, a lot fo W3W schools (best coding source on the planet)
  • Back-end: Python, Flask, Heroku
  • Flight information from the Kiwi API

What was the most challenging thing about building this product?

This was the first web app I built from scratch. After reading so much about the lean startup, I was super excited to show everybody my 1st version. A site that looked like it was made in the 90's with 2 boxes for submit. Needless to say, it seems some things might have changed since the lean startup and now, design is everything! So yes, that loader took me 1 weekend, and whilst it may seem like just a loader, for me its a work of art!
