Criblist turns SF apartment hunting into a swipeable deck. Set your budget, neighborhoods, and must-haves, then browse live rentals from Craigslist and local property managers. Context.dev powers the extraction and source data. Keep the good ones.

@yahia_bakour3 For folks actively hunting in SF: what's one small detail that made or broke a place for you; something you wish search tools would surface or filter for?
the staleness question below (still-live checks) is the one I'd worry about too, but there's a business-model risk underneath it: property managers list on their own sites specifically to control the narrative and pricing, and Craigslist itself has gone after scrapers before. if Brick + Timber, RentSFNow etc notice a chunk of their traffic is bypassing their site entirely, what stops one of them from blocking the extraction and quietly shrinking your source list over time? feels like the kind of thing that works great at launch and gets thinner every month as sources notice and lock down.
A commute-time filter would be huge. Plug in where you work and it shows you listings under your max door-to-door time on Muni or BART, not just the rent number. Right now I still have to mentally cross-check every place against how long it'll actually take me to get to the office.
@rzgarxblz I agree with this! That would be so helpful!
It would be super helpful to see a map view alongside the swipe deck so I can visualize where each listing sits relative to my target neighborhoods and commute. Maybe a small toggle in the corner to switch between card stack and map mode. Would make narrowing down the geography way easier without losing the quick-browse feel.
As a student, the struggle is real. How often do you find listings that aren't duplicated across multiple sites?
How do you plan to handle sourcing and data consistency from Craigslist, given their historical issues with scraper bots and varying listing quality?
the swipe-and-keep format is a great fit for this, apartment hunting really is just a matching problem dressed up as a spreadsheet. one thing I'd want to know before trusting it: does Criblist re-check that a listing is still live before showing it to me, or is there a chance I keep something that already got rented out an hour earlier?
