Hi! :wave: This is a testbed for what I hope will someday be a sign-up-and-forget automatic tracker for cheap beach side destinations.

The end goal is for people to sign-up stating their location, if they have a passport or not, which airlines loyalty programs they belong to, etc. Then every Wednesday around lunch time if we've found any cheap (compared to normal rates) flights to a beach somewhere (where we've checked, and it'll be sunny), the user will get a text / FB message / whatever.

If you want to snoop, or contribute, the Github Issues list out everything. The website is the next big piece. Or check out my base notes and scratchpad.

The current code looks ahead to next-next Friday and checks the weather in all possible destinations using Dark Sky's API. For the days where it'll be sunny and nice. Then it uses Google's QPX Express API to look up flights between the two locations (currently hardcoded origin NYC/SFO) -1/+1 days from that Friday until -1/+1 days to the next Monday.

It spits out stuff like this:
