Show HN: A travel tool to discover destinations based on your budget

I really want this... but its pretty broken atm. 1) Images are comically wrong. One "whoa" hit for me was "the blue mountains" in Canada, but the photo is from BANF, 3500 KM away and much more expensive. This makes me doubt all of the images, which makes the whole site somewhat useless.

2) Needs current temps instead of average. Current implementation has quirks like sending you to Winnipeg for sun.

3) Can't book/find dates where you can get these prices. So I can't even comment on if they are real and/or use the site for its intended purposes.

4) shouldn't suggest a holiday where I'm coming from.

keep at it though, if this worked as advertised it could be my go to site for booking vacations.

Hey yaur! I'll respond to the points you made:

1) I think that's an incident, we've collected all the images by hand - so the error rate should be very low. Apparently we made a mistake for the blue mountains, canada - so thanks for mentioning :)

2) True, we'll implement current temps very soon :)

3) Working on that, for now you need to select an airport from the dropdown list to ensure that the dates become visible.

4) Sure, we'll fix that.

Thank your for your feedback yaur. That would be awesome :)
