Upseated
Hey HN, We built Upseated to solve a problem every traveler knows: you check in and discover you're stuck in a middle seat, or you're rows away from your kids, or you're right next to the lavatory in a non-reclining seat. Airlines let you pick seats during booking, but once you're assigned, you're basically stuck. We created a P2P marketplace where passengers can swap seats with each other—either upgrade to a better spot by paying another passenger, or monetize your own seat if someone wants it more than you do. How it works: Enter your flight info and seat assignment Browse swap…

What it does
Upseated addresses one of air travel's most persistent frustrations - not getting the seat you want on a flight. It's the first peer-to-peer marketplace for airplane seats and turns frustration into opportunity. The innovative approach allows families to sit togethers, rewards flexibility and puts power back in travelers' hands. With 700+ million annual US travelers facing seat assignment issues, Upseated is the innovative solution. Works on web and native iOS and Android apps.
UpSeated is a seat-swapping platform that helps airline passengers improve their seat assignments by connecting compatible travelers before or during flights.

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
