Hard to read, check.

Hates whitespace, check.

AI's favorite font, check.

That's not a beautiful website, that's slop trash.

You forgot the part where you tell people your AI slop is free and no sign ups

I can feel Claude's DNA here like a hooker's sweat around a pole dance bar.

You don't even need to click the link. That sharing card just screams claude. Subtle off-white colouring, serif headline font, orange highlights.

Now lets see Paul Allen's sharing card.

Why does it always pick that

I've been a software developer for 20 years, AI is just another tool I use especially for personal projects. It’s a free tool that at least I find useful. Thank you for checking it out at least.

It doesn't have to be

This looks so incredibly AI. Why do you not even attempt to create your own look?

Slop trash

Well... Even with all the AI slop comments, I looked at it. I tried it. It doesn't work very well.

This is cool, and it would be 10x cooler if the data were accessible via API or download so it could be combined with other things!

he's not creating his own data by calling the airlines and hotels. use those apis.

Was this comment meant for a different thread? The whole point of this visualization is that it visualizes a unique dataset they built.

u/ult_frisbee_chad 11d ago

my point is that its not unique and you can't just give out data thats not yours to begin with. this is part of the whole reason people hate ai companies because they're stealing everyone's data.

I don't know what you're talking about, nor why you're responding instead of the author of this thing. Read the "How this works" box on the site.

Russia and Türkiye being on the top of the list of European countries is quite funny since they are geographically the least European of them all 😅

u/alexcroox 6d ago

it's sorted by the number of children aged 0-14 the country has. On reflection I'm going to change the order to total trips abroad

The flexibility option is confusing. If your dates are fixed the toggle implies you still have to select one of the options which doesn't feel right.

This is neat!

I have one suggestion for the heatmap though.

The "Week of" dates are just on the top of the heatmap so I had to keep scrolling up to see what the dates were for the countries lower down. It would be nice if the dates were labeled on the breaks between regions.

u/alexcroox 11d ago

Nice suggestion thanks! The weeks were static on desktop but not mobile. If you refresh the page on mobile the weeks should now stay at the top as you scroll

u/PocketsOfSalamanders 11d ago

Excellent! It looks great

u/VIPHeat 11d ago

Now overlay air travel price averages!

-2

u/djshadesuk 11d ago

Huh? The point of the site is to avoid school and public holidays, when travel and associated costs is, generally, cheaper anyway. I mean, including the prices averages would be useful, even if only to show how much people get ripped off during school/public holidays, but I think we can still safely assume anything outside of the hotspots in the calendar is de facto cheaper.

u/silverlotus152 11d ago

An option to add in weather would also be helpful. Like, there may be no public holidays but it might be monsoon season too.

u/alexcroox 10d ago

Great idea thanks! I've added weather for the weeks you choose and warnings around hurricane/monsoon seasons

People seem to get caught up on the AI nature of web development these days. So what? The average non developer can now focus on the human aspect of it or the actual idea of what they are creating rather than long lines of code. Claude sites all look the same, because it uses what is considered the optimal way of building and presenting a site. The only way to move away from that would be a completely unique design idea (on a non design tool site?) or by consciously making your site sub optimal and more 'human'?
