Hi Product Hunters!
Offpeak.io maker here.
Our goal with Offpeak.io is to give travelers and travel planners more information to help them decide where and when to travel. Think of it like traffic data on your GPS.
City-wide events are one of the main culprits for significant spikes in visitors to a destination. A city-wide event could be a major tech conference in San Francisco, when the pope is visiting Philadelphia, during a 3-day annual meeting of 12,000 Dentists in New Orleans, or the night before a Total Solar Eclipse, to name a few examples. It is not a simple task to know about these events, especially when you are over 1,000 miles away.
Hotels operate with surge pricing similar to Uber and Lyft, during high demand days they raise the prices and on low demand days they lower them. Larger hotels and hotel chains have whole revenue departments dedicated to this process.
Cities can also be viewed as less desirable to travel during high demand or peak days as they can be overcrowded, causing longer lines for attractions and making it difficult for you to get a reservation at that restaurant you really want to go to.
Offpeak.io is currently in open beta, a testing stage where we are hoping to learn about who our users are, how they use the website, and what other information they want to see.
Adding more cities is certainly the top request we receive, and we are on it. We currently have 90 cities available, but let us know what missing cities you would like to see!
Very nice idea definitely trying in on my next trip. The fact you can see the temperature and hotels availability together with the price is perfect. Good job!
@rohillion Thanks Rodrigo. We find temperature hugely beneficial. We tried to display it in a way you can quickly understand. Another interesting thing is how different high and low temperatures are in some destinations on a single day (e.g. 80f high / 40f low), it's usually ones with desert type climates.
