Couchsurfing app

[exutable]

An app that pulls couches up according to where you are and has contact information for each couch when you press on it. I think this is really a winner.

Couches? As in sofas? WTF?

Check out couchsurfing.com, it's a community for travelers where you basically get to sleep on couches for free. It's a really cool way to travel because you meet people and save a lot of money. There are thousands of couches in most countries.

I'm on it

I'll start developing it this week.

Actually, I got in contact with couchsurfing.com and asked them if they had an API available, and apparently they are still developing it. So, until they get that finished on their end, I won't be able to do anything.

Alternatively, I could have it scrape their site, but that in turn may cause other problems - for instance, if they change certain things on the site, it may break the application.

So, what do you think?

I'd rather have something that workin and breaks than nothing at all! Please work on this!!!

I would also like to see an app that syncs/works with couchsurfing or even an independent product.

Hey, at least that means they've got a mobile app or API in mind. That's reassuring.

I've just created a simple app to browse couchsurfing.
