Airbnb is good for search but crap for finding. So I built a chrome extension as protest.
Hey guys, If you are planning to book a trip anytime soon and are thinking of airbnbs - I can save you some time!

It is really simple - it scrapes all your open airbnb tabs and puts all the data into a nice simple table where you can compare them easily and pick your favourite. You can even add extra rows to put your own info in!
Compairbnb is the first thing I have made from scratch. I hope you like it and will continue to support it until Airbnb shuts it down!
The long term goal of this is to get Airbnb to be better.
This is not a business. Compairbnb is a protest.
That sounds really cool actually. Is it a passion project for you, or do you have some ideas on how to monitizie it?
How did you build it (I'm curious).
Hey! Less passion project more anger project!
It's annoying that Airbnb doesn't focus on the main part of the journey (narrowing you're search)
As Airbnb also doesn't have and developer community four these I basically just scrape data of the page.
It's built as a chrome extension, something I would happily do again as it was relatively easy to develop with!
