For the past few months, I've been working on a website that answers two different questions: - Where in my city have the best travel times to all the things and people I care about? - Given a listing, how far is it from all the things and people I care about? Personally this was fueled by my own frustrations when I was apartment hunting in NYC. I was frustrating to have to juggle so many Google Maps tabs when I was evaluating a listing, and it was also annoying to not have full confidence that I was even searching in the right places. I wanted to be close to work, a Trader Joe's, and a…

We're a small team of 3 engineers, and wanted to make a better way to look for for properties online. Traditional portals (esp. outside of US) are just a bit rubbish for doing anything other than basic searching. So we've: - Created a crawler that reads through estate agents websites to find homes for sale - Parses that through a series of LLMs and other models to understand each home in depth (e.g. floor type, location, total sqft) - Parses every photo through an embeddings vector space so that people can search for whatever they want.

My Gay Flatmate helps the LGBT community to find a safe place to live. It is a 2-sided platform. People can advirtise their spare room, and they can also create a profile to say they are looking for a room. Happy to receive some feedback! I am a solo founder (not by option)

Hi HN! At Open Listings, we build technology to make buying a house simpler and more affordable. Ultimately, we want to make buying a house as simple as clicking a button. Our core technology is really our transaction process. While we also provide some shopping tools for house hunters, we recognize that people don’t just use 1 site when they’re searching for a home. In the spirit of supporting our clients even if they’er shopping on other sites, we made a “buy button” that we hope will work anywhere. When you click, it looks for address and MLS# on your current page and fills them in on our…

Hi HN! A few years ago, I had a tough time buying a home in a competitive market where listings were scarce. I kept wondering—why isn’t there a simple way to contact a homeowner directly to ask if they’re interested in selling? So a friend and I built Hown, an app that lets buyers message any homeowner, creating a way to buy and sell houses outside the real estate market (sorry, US only for now). The app is for: -Homeowners who might be open to selling but aren’t ready to list. -Buyers who want to express interest in homes before they hit the market. -House enthusiasts who just enjoy…
