FlatFinder

This was a small project in the mid 2010s project which addressed some contemporaneous shortcomings in the “flats to rent” space:

• aggregation – this checked 4 different sites (Gumtree, Rightmove, GSPC and S1Rental)
• walking distance rather than simple “as the crow flies” radius
• hide seen flats
• better filtering – eg locales to ignore, locales of special interest

To figure out walking distance the Google Distance API was used.
