I know $90 for a dining app sounds absurd. And it’s not even an app; it's a wrapper for an LLM. But it is how it is built that makes it so expensive. I had to make a whole API just to call it (which because its own SAAS). All just to bypass dumb google reviews. Google Maps and reviews send people to places optimized for tourists and good copywriters. To find actual local hole-in-the-walls algorithmically, I had to first build that api (called BWENDI), a "spatial gravity" engine using 100GB+ of tweaked OSM, GeoNames, and other proprietary data. Instead of aggregating reviews, it mathematically calculates foot-traffic, throughput, transaction stats, and economic criticality among other factors. Bwendi is A Python/Node ETL pipeline feeding an LMDB-backed context API. It uses a proprietary 1MB binary grid served via Cloudflare Workers for millisecond edge reads with near-zero overhead, hosted in Switzerland. This was done of course to get the purest location context around every street

Verdict-first travel tool — monetizing via affiliate links that only appear AFTER you've decided. Does this model hold? TripVerdict gives an honest "does this trip fit your budget" verdict from live flight/stay data. The wedge: every competitor (OTAs, AI planners) monetizes bookings, so their incentive is to make every trip look bookable. Mine shows booking links only post-decision, clearly disclosed — the bet is that independence is the moat and the trust earns the click. Early signal:

AI Travel Planner - my first side project in years! Hi all! I finally carved out some time to work on a side project that resolves a very real problem for me - my husband and I can never agree on what to do when we travel so the idea was to have AI reconcile our interests! I hadn't done full stack dev in a min so that's what made it more fun! Would love to get your feedback and insights : https://travel-tetris.vercel.app/ Thank you!!! submitted by /u/SnooDoggos8379 to
