This is great. Another phenomenal project by Pieter. The only downside is that Telegram (at least the web apps) are buggy for me. I got stuck on the location prompt. The native iOS app is great though. There's not a lot of info about San Diego, CA but I was able to get recommendations for places to go to based on my budget and preferences (pulls this info in from Pieter's other project, NomadLIst). Overall, this experience is really neat.

@irvingtorresyc I think I fixed the location prompt now, you can enter cities now instead of sharing your location (Telegram's web app doesn't support location sharing yet). I'll keep sourcing more locations to work and sleep and improve that data. The quality of places is not where I want it to be yet, but at least the infrastructure to get that data to users is there now (through Nomad List and Taylor). It's just a matter of sourcing the right APIs to get this data and using algorithms to score them so I can show the best/nearest ones to users.

Great use of Telegram's new bot API. Needs to have relevant suggestions. Just got too many commercial recommendations for open office space. Looking forward to seeing how this evolves.

@tomflemming Thanks Tom, which city did you try? I'll keep adding better sources for work places.

@levelsio Looking at London the results have too many commercial shared office spaces, the ones I would really try to avoid. Would be great to some more of the current and happening ones.

Exciting space and I love how emoji's can integrate right into make a cool UX. SMS is still l pretty big actually. Huge in a lot of places and with certain segments still the primary means of communication. But I think both SMS and OTT have huge potential irrespective of each other. I am going to try this out after I finish eating my July 4th hot dog, which I am currently doing. Nice job it looks pretty good!

@paultomkinson I think SMS is very US-centric, the rest of the world already moved to messaging apps

As I have used your website many times before, Taylor was a little redundant but I can see new users latching onto this. Congrats on the launch!

@matthui thanks Matthew! I hope to reach a more mainstream travel audience a bit away from the niche nomad audience.

Well, I think Whatsapp is much better on speed and reliability than any other chat app. Telegram is better in terms of new implementation of advanced tech features (via the community). Whatsapp itself didn't to any marketing either.

Wow, this is awesome. Does anybody know of any other bots out there that I should check out?
