Build-in-public notes

The developer blog: build-in-public notes, teardowns, and changelog stories, written by the person who runs the APIs, when there's something worth writing down.

Rebuilding flightpowers.com

The old site was 13 indexable URLs that described the product instead of showing it. The new one runs real searches in the hero, labels every canned example with its capture date, and renders pricing from the live listings. Here is what changed and the rules the site now holds itself to.

Looking for the older consumer travel posts (flexible-date tricks, scraping war stories)? They moved with the consumer product to demo.flightpowers.com/blog, where they belong. This blog is for the API side of the house.
