So, this summer I was hunting for a flight from Calgary to Tokyo with WestJet, and I kept seeing these random cheaper flights popping up. I got tired of refreshing the site non-stop, so I whipped up a script to scrape the flight data. It paid off—I scored a roundtrip for $1000 CAD in July! Naturally, I decided to turn this into a full-fledged project and built flight-price-alert.com!Tech details: Built with Go for the backend and SQLite for the database. Added some TLS spoofing to get around Cloudflare’s JA3 fingerprinting that was blocking my requests. Styled the site with PicoCSS—it was super easy and kept things neat. Generated tons of images with Recraft.ai. Seriously, I must’ve churned

I built a site that tracks short-lived flight deals is positioned in show hn launch, a segment that rewards a clear, focused offering.

Its current recorded stage is Show HN launch.
