To me one of the biggest surprises around the pandemic and remote work has been how Airbnb did practically nothing to cater to it and nobody else did either. Cool that I can look for a monthly stay, but I need a filter for places that are actually set up for real remote work. I want minimum, verified internet speed, a real desk with a real desk chair, a external monitor I can plug in to. I don't want to book a place for a month and then have to leave because I cannot work. The only way I was able to make extended remote work while traveling possible was by staying with family whom I shipped almost $500 worth of equipment beforehand that's just sunk cost. I can see that the market for tires is relatively small, but probably quite lucrative.
At first I thought it's a parody, that makes a stab at airbnb by adding functions from Tinder - matching.
Then I realized I'm browsing Airbnb CEO's twitter. You never know with checkmarks on twitter these days.
I recently released https://stay100.app/ which allows you to find a stay faster by listing search results in a large grid of images without pagination.
Works well on large screens.
Anyone have a listing of Chesky's AirBnB? It's probably booked up for years.
I rarely watch TV, adblock and pihole everything so I'm not exposed to many adverts. I honestly thought this was going to be satire and was waiting for the onion-esque creepy guy to announce his camera setup and onlyfans or something.
Guess it just hits differently in Australia.
I was a hardcore Airbnb user back in the day, but now I’ve reverted back to using hotels when travelling.
The prices are now pretty much the same, the discovery process is better when using hotel search engines such as booking.com and the overall quality and ratings can be easily cross-checked on multiple websites.
Compare that to the risk of having a crappy airbnb, whose ratings are of course skewed upwards, since they are the only ones in control.
Also, the airbnb website has become a slow unusable mess nowadays.
The map takes ages to load and scroll, it hides cheaper places by default and also doesnt include the fees that get tacked on in the end.
