Show HN: A housesharing vs. affordability map we made for London
- vsubramanian 12y agoHi there, Vasanth here - we launched Splittable.co last week (for housesharers) and as part of that, we teamed up with findproperly.co.uk to build and publish a map we thought was interesting for London, showing the location/affordability tradeoffs made for how housesharing can help move you closer to central London. Data is from FindProperly, map visualisation made with some custom JS and google maps. I think Peter from FP is hanging around too so can answer any questions etc. Any comments/feedback welcome!
- kjjw 12y agoVery nice. I put the slider all the way to the maximum - £500 per person per week and there are still some parts of central London that are listed as 'too expensive'. Or perhaps is there no data for those parts?
- dijit 12y agotoo expensive.
- vsubramanian 12y agoToo expensive ;) - see http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-to-rent/property-40461691.html http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-to-rent/property-4046169... for an example
- kjjw 12y agoOh yeah. That would be a long slider! :-)
- atemerev 12y agoIt tells me that if I have a £2000 per month budget, and willing to share with at least 1 person, I could live in the Buckingham Palace! Looks OK to me, anyone willing to share the costs?
- wowsig 12y agoIt is a good idea to use a slider with discretion. Sliders like what you have used is a bad usability practice. I wasn't able to slide the slider at all and I wasn't able to navigate the site at all. But in cases, where you have limited data points to offer, having the slider bar readjust to the next data point is a good idea.
