Free Flight Scraper - need testers
 
Hello all,

I have created a flight scraper that searches for direct, open-jaw and even double open-jaw flights.

I didn't like the idea of putting software protection on the program and licensing it out. Instead I will be releasing it free of charge as I have secured "sponsorship" from a travel website/blog.
Whilst the search is undergoing, the program gives you the opportunity to browse the travel website whilst your results are being listed in a table in ascending order of price.
You can simply choose not to browse the site if you prefer. the choice is yours.
THERE IS NO HIDDEN ADWARE.

Before releasing it to the public, I thought it would be a good idea to get 4 or 5 testers to have a go and tell me what they like, what they don't like, what should be changed etc.

I'm still working on the finishing touches so the testing will start in about a weeks time.
i will be performing an anti-virus scan on the uploaded content and providing a screenshot of the results. I assure you this is genuine and not a scam of any sort.

If anyone's interested, please comment on this thread and let me know.
thanks.

Sounds very interesting to me

I'd be really interested in it. I worked myself a bit in this area and had some success with some websites but was not really satisfied with the end product, so I put it on ice and never really finished it.

That's great.
I'll PM the 3 of you by the end of next week.

a couple more spaces left if anyone else is interested...

I'll throw my hat in the ring. I'm a software architect, if that helps.

I'm in if you still need testers. I have done a fair bit of this kind of thing myself and have plenty of time on my hands to test your systems.

Pick me!

Thank you everybody for putting yourselves forward.

We were only looking for a handful of people so if you do not receive a PM from us in the next couple of days, then unfortunately you weren't selected.

Look out for our final product which should be released next week!!

We're running a little behind. We've only just begun testing.
Hopefully in a week or so it will be released publicly

Thanks
