IIRC Flightfox was originally a market where you posted your desired itinerary and constraints and a price, and some travel points nerd could offer you a convoluted routing would meet those constraints for (this is why I ended up booking Star Alliance flights for years through a Colombian carrier's site). It was really helpful for me to spend ~$40 rather than try to learn the collective wisdom of FlyerTalk forums. I think they later pivoted to some more automated system where they'd try to sell the flights directly - I hadn't realized that they were in corporate travel management now.
