So Airbnb is going after that market, 23B. You're going after a small subset of that market. But say you get pretty popular and 10% of every vacation rental is using your service then that's only 20M (since you only take 1%).
Or are you planning on offering a different service once you're big enough?
Cool service, I signed up already. I wonder though, how big do you think this market really is? I feel like this might be just a small subset of the airbnb market.

"total yield from the waitlist was under 10 percent" that's 10% paying customers that's definitely not as bad as they made it sound.
I'm a little surprised why did they think it would be a cheap operation. They send someone to pick up the mail from your house, that's insane. Of course that will be expensive. And it's only $5 per month. There are a few old school services that do the same but they ask the customer to redirect their mail to a specific new address. I wonder why outbox didn't go down that route.
Definitely sad to see them go.

Thanks, we'll see if we can make it happen for the next release.
I don't know if you noticed, but we show you a history of your recent searches, so that could be a quicker way to get your favorite route.
Google directions APIs offer biking routes, so on the backend we figure out the time it takes to get to the destination. Unfortunately the Google maps app APIs doesn't support biking directions yet just driving/walking/public transport so for now driving makes the most sense.
If there's a biking app you usually use we'd be happy to integrate with it
The lat/long coordinates are more accurate which is why we're using it. However, we've heard this from a few people already, so we might change it in the next release.

hmm that's a little strange. Haven't had this problem before. I'll look into it - Thanks.
I made a very similar website. Also offers uploading files and encrypting the data you share. It offers a little more flexibility on how you want to secure the content you're sharing.

You can check out the source code https://github.com/hellonoam/cryptopad though I should probably update the readme with more info.
Typo fixed.
Trust is a challenge, I might just open source it. Although that doesn't guarantee that people will trust the website.
Separate links since they're for different purposes
I like the domain as well!

Yeah, exactly. Also interesting to see the dots in the middle of the oceans.
