Pagaie Calanques, a booking site that tells you if the tour will run š¶
Karim runs Pagaie Calanques alone, guiding sea-kayak tours from Les Goudes, the last village before the Calanques in Marseille. His real problems are simple.
ā¢ He's on the water all day and can't pick up the phone.
ā¢ Every tour needs 4 paddlers to run, so customers keep asking "is it going ahead?"
ā¢ The mistral cancels tours, and nobody knows until the last minute.
ā¢ Bookings without a deposit often don't show up.
What I built in Lovable
ā A 14-day calendar where every tour shows its 8 kayaks and how many are taken. "2 more paddlers to confirm", "Departure confirmed Ā· 6/8", "Full". At the 4th paddler, the tour is on.
ā A 3-step booking with a ā¬10 deposit, the rest paid at the port, so seats are held and no-shows drop.
ā The Mistral meter, using the real Open-Meteo forecast for Les Goudes, with wind, gusts, direction, sky and the next 14 days of wind. Customers check the conditions themselves instead of calling.
ā A day at Les Goudes, the outing hour by hour with the meeting point and what to bring, so the same questions stop arriving by DM.
ā Everything in French, English and Italian.
Before, calls missed on the water, "is it going ahead?" messages every evening, and empty seats.
After, customers see the seats, the wind and the plan, and book on their own. Karim paddles.

A red-eye flight for insomniacs, right in the browser. I love the restraint in Samin Samiās NOCTURNE. All you do is steer, and the city keeps unfolding beneath you. It reminds me how much atmosphere a browser experience can create with one well-chosen interaction.

Steer an endless night-flight over a procedural city. NOCTURNE is a night-flight airline for insomniacs. An infinite procedural city passes beneath the wing. Steer with your mouse. Built by Samin Sami.

Bonaca is an AI tool that tells yacht charter companies when to lower a price. The first thing every user asked was āwhy this price?ā So I designed one screen for that question: tap it, type it or say it, and you get a one-line answer instead of a table to read.
