Hello everyone! I'm bringing you an update no one has asked for - on Stay - a plugin I've been building for the past few weeks. It's a listing management system for Framer/Webflow.
It syncs rentals from Airbnb/Booking into the CMS, updates most important things such as availability in real time, allows to search, filter, yada yada yada, all typical listing management system functionality.
Here's what I managed to do in those weeks: 1. Onboarding I really wanted to make this as straightforward as possible: there's no sign up process, also no password. You sign up and log in by receiving a one-time code on your email. We also don't collect any information on sign up since it'd make the process longer and we don't really need it anyway.. 2. Data fetching Airbnb and Booking have very restrictive API policies. I won't go into details on how we work around that, but the process isn't straightforward. 3. Supporting several services simultaneously Each of those services has unique fields and features, for example, Airbnb has information about the host and Booking.com doesn't We process the data to format in the same way for overlapping fields and those which are exclusive to a certain platform are managed by separate components. 4. Searching, filtering, SEO, maps Framer and Webflow are powerful. They don't need a plugin to manage those for them, but users do. So, we've created a boilerplate template with all those features, so people can explore all features and build upon it. That's it for now. We have quite a few challenges ahead to solve and plugin is not likely to go live any time soon, I'll keep you updated if there's interest
