Show HN: Listable – A website to organize your apartment search (getlistable.app)

Hey HN, I’ve been working with my friend and roommate Jacob Strieb (https://github.com/jstrieb/) on a website to make apartment searching less chaotic. When we were looking for an apartment in New York City, we made a Google Sheets spreadsheet and entered all the listings we were considering as rows. Jacob wrote some fancy formulas using IMPORTXML that created columns by pulling useful bits of information from the listing page such as square footage, number of beds/baths, days on market, and even the commute times to our places of work!

Listable turns that spreadsheet into an application anyone can use. It works by scanning the pages of any URLs you paste in to extract attributes about your listing, and organizes everything into a table. (Currently only a limited number of listing websites are supported.) Listable can calculate the commute from each listing to nearby businesses or custom waypoints. You can add fields for things like “commute time to the nearest Trader Joe’s” and it will update for each listing you are looking at.

There are many things we’d love to add, but thought it would be good to get some initial feedback on our prototype. Feel free to make your own list from the homepage (no account required!), or check out our demo list (https://getlistable.app/d/f795c5d4-a523-4c14-904f-e07d668e52...). Thank you for taking a look!
