Wifi network and password in the Airbnb listing description, is this a normal thing to do?


I had one renter complain that they couldn't get the wifi network and password (and again ask for a refund), so I just gave in and put it in the listing. Airbnb has a way to enter it securely, but most guests never figure it out. Airbnb should probably text the wifi network and password automatically when a property is booked

Update: I'm on phone with AirBNB support about this right now. Frankly their phone support is pretty poor, eventhough I'm a "super host." They can't seem to answer basic questions about how the wifi network and password is provided to guests


Am I really going to be the first?

I would use Rails. Rails has everything I need to build a web app and API back end should I require a native mobile app. As a ruby guy I can't really comment on the frontend, but my go to JS framework that lets me build shit quickly is knockoutjs.


Is it hubworks?


No. I don't know what RDBMS HubWorks use but to my knowledge they run their software with AWS and I think there's better fits to AWS than MSSQL.


I can't believe the level of detail that went into making this site look similar to HN. Even the login page looks the same.


It's the same source.


I'm a collaborator on the project and we're tidying up all these loopholes, but thanks for the heads up. Matts response is "Oops, I’m a designer!".


Haha, cool. There's another similar issue (which your team may already be aware of) that I'd be happy to point out less-publicly if you want to send me an email. Anyway, nice project!


Yes the OP is a designer, hence the whole learning to program thing. He designs over at campaignmonitor.com


There's a growing Facebook community for Sydney startups @ sydneystartups.com - will checkout Reddit, cheers.


If you're interested in narrowing the location to just sydney - there's a growing FB group called "Sydney Startups" (https://www.facebook.com/groups/sydneystartups/) and a related monthly newsletter which features Sydney Startups -> sydneystartups.com


Damnit, I just posted about that. That'll teach me for not reading through all the comments. So many comments.
