Great work. It does exactly what it says it does and helped me validate the choice I made a few weeks ago. I picked Uber and according to your app, it's the cheapest option for that route. Going forward, I'll probably use this. As for feedback.

First, I'd kill the alert message. You show the pricing by company anyways. Maybe highlight the cheapest option but I wouldn't use an alert window for it.

Second, I'd make changes to the background image. There's nothing wrong with the image at all, it's just that a tiled background like that seems a little dated to me.

Anything more than this feedback and I'd feel like I'm completely changing your design, not helping to improve it.



Thanks for feedback! It's pretty clear people don't like the alert window, so I'll remove that.

What I liked about the alert window is that it displayed results, on same page without needing to scroll, on a mobile device. Is there a way I could hide/unhide dev elements to make the inputs disappear and results appear in their place? Or what were you imagining?

I agree tiled is dated - I wanted to launch something rather quickly so this feedback is great to help prioritize what tweaks to make.


Absolutely. You may end up doing something else but you could definitely hide/unhide an element to show your results. Check this out as an example: http://jsfiddle.net/atommorgan/8Fjsq/


Exactly what I imagined - thanks for the link!


Thanks for the feedback, and glad to hear you'd like to use it!

Looks like the server crashed tho :( - may need to find better hosting option.
