What it does

Property sites start with the house. Boroughly starts with you. Set your budget, pin the places you need to be near (your mum, work, school), and tick what daily life needs - good schools, a halal butcher, a synagogue, a LGBTQ+ Friendly place, a Lidl, a gym. Boroughly scores all 278 London areas and commuter towns against YOUR criteria on a live map: prices, safety, commutes (live TfL times), and how welcoming an area feels. Draw zones you love, cross out ones you don't. Free, no sign-up.

Find the right area for your life in about a minute - across London, Birmingham, Bristol and Manchester. Compare 428 areas by budget, commute, schools, safety and what

Set your budget, the places you actually need to get to, and what matters day to day - schools, safety, parks, a halal butcher, somewhere to run. Boroughly scores every area against you , not against an average. Buying or renting, how many bedrooms, and the absolute ceiling. Anything you can't afford drops off the map. Your office, your mum's, the nursery. Boroughly uses live TfL times and removes anywhere the journey doesn't work. Slide up schools, safety, parks, nightlife or peace and quiet. Mark must-haves - a mosque, a Lidl, a big park. A ranked list with the reasons attached, plus a full written guide for every area on it. Boroughly Plus turns any area on it into a one-page move…from boroughly.net

  • A website that heatmaps your city based on your housing preferences2025 · theretowhere.com · ▲321

    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…

    I replaced a $120k bowling center system with $1,600 in ESP32s▲2,935

    I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

    Bento - An entire PowerPoint in one HTML file (edit+view+data+collab)▲1,033

    Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  • Getting GLM 5.2 running on my slow computer▲937

    A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

  • OpenSEO▲928

    Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
