Why I built a real-estate tool with zero real-estate listings
Every property site in Korea (Hogang-no-no, Zigbang, Dabang) shows the same listings with the same agents.
What people actually need when moving:
- How far is the subway? (door to platform)
- Can my kid walk to school?
- Is there a mart within 10 min on foot?
- How long to my workplace, with transfers?
That's what I built: https://geoinfomatic.pythonanywhere.com/?ref=lemmy
No listings. No agents. Just an honest accessibility map.
Funded by 5 free analyses/day + 9,900 KRW Pro tier. Built solo with Flask + Leaflet.
I remember doing this manually for all the apartments I was considering when I was moving out and putting them in a spreadsheet, it was super fuckin tedious lol
Absolutely phenomenal idea!
