Blog here. https://vikramsg.github.io/blog_49travel/

I think the blog post is probably a better link for the article than the app itself.

This is a nice dev diary describing the various API's used and how the site was put together. Be great if it included more detail (ie, code!).

All of the code is linked to on the website. This is the repo. https://github.com/vikramsg/49travel

Or did you mean that I should refer to the code while describing each step?

Yes, that's what I meant - but looking through it it's pretty straightforward, so maybe it's not totally necessary. Helpful for beginners though, and also faster for anyone to learn the parts of the codebase that are important to pay attention to.

Maybe it's silly, but I guess, relevant - I also find it just exciting to read a post filled with syntax-coloured monospace boxes strewn through it. Maybe others feel the same? Possibly it's like the code equivalence to diagrams and illustrations.

Yes, the code is pretty straightforward. It was mostly going down rabbit holes, or finding API's that was the hard part.

Haha, I like it too!
