Show HN: Webapp to organize search for properties when renting/buying
Backstory:
Few years back, I used a shared spreadsheet (GSheets) to organize my property hunt, and found it quite frustrating to keep on top of things just on the productivity side alone.
Felt that there should be a better way to do this, and that's when I started creating a webapp, with features that can make this journey feel less stressful.
This is a solo dev project. Have a look at the demo, and let me know your thoughts!
Cheers
- blitzar 1y agoThe vibe is strong with the coding.
- jun_dev 1y agoDefinitely used LLMs for sure, and I'm sure experienced folks like yourself can spot that pretty quick! Mostly using ChatGPT and a little bit of Claude, both through web browser, and have yet to touch the likes of Cursor/Copilot etc.
- bombcar 1y agoI find that it's less about comparing properties (Zillow, et al have some features there) and more about investigating what you truly want (and can afford!) A big part of the problem is that what you think you want may not be what would actually be best for you (e.g., a short walking commute may bring much more quality of life than a larger yard, or conversely, you may have dogs and so a few minutes in the car is entirely worth it for a dog-run yard). Which is one of the reasons that renting when you're young and mobile is something I recommend - and do NOT rent just "what you think you want" but try apartments, houses, suburbs, as many different things for a year or so and get a feel for it. Then when it comes time to buy you'll know yourself better.
- jun_dev 1y agoI've heard stories of folks who regret their purchases, and it isn't so easy to just pack up and move. So yep, that's a good idea, even if I didn't do that myself.
