What it does
Minpaku Map scores any Japanese address 0–100 for short-term rental viability using zoning, city ordinances, station access, tourism demand and Airbnb performance data. Built in English for foreign investors buying properties in Japan. Free preview covers Kyoto.
Japan's short-term rental laws are complex. We mapped zoning, ordinances, and Airbnb performance across all 47 prefectures. Under Japan's Private Lodging Business Act, resident hosts live at the property while renting spare rooms. Non-resident hosts live elsewhere and generally face stricter management and local ordinancefrom minpaku.kago.me

A website for remote workers to find Airbnb's with good Internet2023 · thewirednomad.com · ▲25I created this website about a month ago to solve a problem I was facing myself as an aspiring digital nomad. It is very important to find an accommodation with fast and reliable Internet. I also specifically wanted places with Ethernet access to minimize latency as much as possible since I (and many others) use a VPN hosted back at home. The database is in its infancy but covers 11 countries so far. I realize the UX is very basic and a minimum viable product. I intend to have someone help me overhaul the design (with ReactJS perhaps) to make it mobile friendly and more appealing.

FOHO – Safer rentals for foreigners in Korea with escrow and AI2025 · foreignerhome.com · ▲6We built [FOHO](https://foreignerhome.com), a housing platform that helps foreigners safely rent in Korea — without scams, translation issues, or ghosting landlords. --- ### Why we built it: When one of us moved to the US, he got ghosted after sending a deposit for a room. In Korea, it’s worse — most listings are in Korean, deposits are high, and many landlords don’t want foreign tenants. Foreigners are *3x more likely to face fraud* in rental markets (- StatKorea 2025). We interviewed 122 foreign residents in Korea. Two had lost their deposit. From Reddit posts to real-world…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
