The story

Here is the story of the bagfinder.cc application that I developed in the past few weeks.

As often happens, it all started with a personal need: I was looking for a new bag to travel with, and my main requirement was the ability to carry it on board as cabin luggage for future air travel.

I then realized four things:

There is no website or application that allows you to know the cabin baggage restrictions for major airlines.
On the websites of bag and luggage manufacturers, there is sometimes a mention stating that “the bag is compatible with most airlines,” but this is by no means a guarantee.
Tedious work is required to search for the allowed dimensions on airline websites.
There are some websites that display cabin baggage sizes, but the user experience is consistently terrible because you have to manually search for the information.

I repeated the process for 2 or 3 bags, and then I quickly stopped looking for a bag to focus on developing an application.

The roadmap

The very high level roadmap is :

V1 : First version with cabin bag compliance [DONE]
V2 : Second version with luggage selector [WIP]
V3 : Version with affiliation
V4 : API & Micro services
V5 : AI Driven

A stress-free project

This project is unpretentious and stress-free. It's a side project that keeps me busy in my spare time and which serves as a laboratory for testing things.
