You can just take the current share url and change the ending of "?dl=0" into "?dl=1" and it will create a direct link to the file, without the preview site.

Hey Samuel!

Thanks for taking the time to do the whole teardown. I was a part of the team who worked on this and it's always cool to see how other people react to your work. Here's some behind the scenes on our design decisions:

• The primary audience for this app are frequent Virgin flyers and Elevate (rewards program) members. This is important, because it helped guide a bunch of our decisions both in terms of content and design.
• We don't include any introductory copy about the app because most people who download it already have an Elevate account or have booked with Virgin before, giving them a specific use case. Thus, we just want to get out of the way of the user as much as possible.
• In terms of the Join Elevate section, I agree with you that it could use some more supporting content in places. I'll pass your feedback along.
• We're asking for your preferences in seating because it opens up the path for us to just give you the best possible seat without having to go through a seat map first, further speeding up booking. That's a feature we've been talking about in design, but if I recall correctly, it's not yet in there.
• When we ask for your go-to city, it's not your home town, but the place you travel to most. There are a lot of business travelers who routinely take the same route (and are part of our core audience for the app). Having this info allows us to surface a quick entry to booking that route right from the home screen when it's appropriate.

Let me know if you (or anyone else) have more questions, I'll be happy to answer them!

yup, that'd be great. thanks!

Congrats Ahmet and the team for launching!

In case you're reading, here's a something that I noticed immediately: Having every link open in a new tab now instead of opening in place feels counterintuitive to me. Once I navigate somewhere I don't need to keep Panda open as it's just one keystroke away. Instead I now just end up with more empty Panda tabs. I would appreciate having an option to change that.

Can't believe they don't have an "ANOTHER ONE" button at the end of the last paragraph.

Worked fine for me, although I'm on a very tall viewport so I might just be able to see more of the animation.

You can check out the info over at NomadList. I believe they also have a Slack channel you could sign up to and ask questions there.

There's method in madness. Or it's the other way around.
