Remember scott's cheap flights?
simple email newsletter. deal drops in your inbox. you book. done.
then they rebranded to "Going" and built an app.
here's what happened 🧵
--
the original magic was dead simple:
- scott finds insane fare
- sends email
- you book in 10 min
no app to download. no push notifications to enable. no account dashboard to check.
just email → book → fly
--
then they raised money. hired 50 people. built an app.
now you have to:
- download the app
- create an account
- set up alerts
- check the app
- hope you didn't miss a notification
the friction killed the magic

apps are great for some things
flight deals are not one of them
the whole point is SPEED. deals disappear in hours.
email hits your inbox → you see it → you book
app notification? maybe you see it. maybe you don't.

so we built claw
AI that watches prices 24/7
finds the deal
sends you an email
that's it. no app. no dashboard. no complexity.
back to basics 🦞
