Any feedback from HN on our demo?

Yeah, its just an MVP and San Francisco was kept as these are made up listings to show how the product works, also because alot of investors live in SF/Bay Area, so it seemed like a good idea

I'd say a couple of things about that.

(1) San Francisco is my least favorite city to visit in the US. If I wanted to have that experience I'd fly to L.A. and get a job as an extra in a zombie movie. Leading with San Francisco in a demo is like serving samples of food that are spiked with castor oil. If I was going to spent $1000 a night to stay somewhere it will be someplace that somebody won't try to shove a stolen macbook into my hands when I am walking around outside.

If I really had to go to San Francisco for a conference I'd stay in the conference hotel at all possible and try to never leave the arcology and that's something I wouldn't do visiting any other city, even in the third or fourth world. Mostly I ask conference organizers why they don't take their business to one of a hundred other cities in the US that are friendly to tourists and want their business.

(2) I am also amused by ads and geospatial demos that seem to mindlessly use San Francisco as an example because it has been by experience that San Francisco is where geospatial technology goes to die. Where I have to go to the roof of the Moscone center for my handheld GPS to get a fix, where you discover the bugs in routine algorithms because of the density of streets, one way streets, and POIs, and where when Yelp was new I spent a long time walking from one closed restaurant to another closed restaurant (past numerous open restaurants) because a fellow traveler insisted on going to one that was reviewed.

(3) I find the top page is a little disorienting (not so clear what I'm getting into), find that the login w/ the guest option is distracting, and am more than a little offended about being asked where I want to go and being ignored (particularly in light of 1 and 2).

(4) I think the point of this company is not that it has a super-advanced interface but rather that the quality of the rooms and the experience is high, so the point of the demo is communicating that you've got a plan for the branding which I think the pages after the first do a good job of. The first page though has a lost opportunity where you could show a slogan or otherwise communicate your brand promise.

(5) Once I got into the page for a particular listing it looked OK but then the page seemed to reload for "no reason" and then the loading indicator appeared but the content never did. Not sure if this is faulty React-fu or a back end crash (which make those things happen in my apps occasionally) but it has to be cleared up.
