Chesky explained that historically people only used Airbnb once or twice a year, so its design had to be very simple. Now, the company is reusing more frequent visits. Open the app and you will see three icons that act as gateways for extended functionality. Chesky and his lieutenant clapped in minutes with a peculiar pleasure, retro style, a traditional rent house, serviced hotel bells and hot air balloons represented by Jules Verne-Verne-Verne-Verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne-verne- “We really thought deeply about metaphor – what is the correct vision of expressing experience?” Connor said. Once they decide on the balloon, they will drill into the basket how much fire should be. The icons were drawn by a former Apple designer whose name Chesky will not leak. "He has a little secret weapon," he said.
Chesky's collaboration with iconic, former Apple, industrial designer Jony Ive is a secret weapon. It should be said that Chesky's Polaris is Apple. “To me, Steve Jobs is like Michelangelo or Da Vinci,” he said. Although he has never seen a job, “I feel like I know him deeply, professionally in a way that few people do it, only you can only start a technology company as a creative person and get on the rocket ship, which you can only do through you,” Chesky said. By hiring Ive's Love Company and working with Jobs' leading collaborators, Chesky can taste the famous job/Ive Dynamic. I didn't compare myself, but he did praise Chesky for designing the ribs. “I wish sometimes I was like a companion, sometimes I was used to Brian,” I said. “But most of our work revolves around thought and the way we form problems and understand opportunities.”
Another key part of the application is the configuration file page. "You need trust," Chesky said, meaning verifiable identity. Airbnb has been reviewing new vendors called "service hosts." For months, a team of background researchers have been reviewing resumes, licenses and advice from chefs, photographers, doctors, mannellers, men's wearers, hairstylists, makeup artists, personal trainers and aestheticians, who provide spa treatments such as facial and micro-categories. They were all photographed professionally.

In the next phase (transforming Airbnb's user profile into a major Internet ID), Connor and her team conducted some distant experiments. She disrupted the list of technologies they have been exploring, including biometrics, holograms and reactive inks to prevent official ID falsification. But it’s far from easy to be a private identity utility (hi, Facebook) and even Chesky pointed out that getting the government to accept the Airbnb certificate to verify identity is “a stretch goal.”
Now that a large number of people will have new reasons to chat with each other and coordinate plans, Airbnb also enhances its messaging capabilities. Travelers who share experiences can form communities, stay connected, and even share videos and photos. “I don’t know if I want to call it a social network,” said Airbnb’s CTO Ari Balogh. Therefore, they adopted vague terms. "We think of it as a connectivity platform," he said. "You'll see us building more on it, and even though we're not an advertising system, thank you." (My own observation is that any for-profit company that can host advertising will, but no matter what.)
