What's HutHunters?
• HutHunters is a rental apartment search bot focused on the (for now) NL market.
• It runs 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, searching for suitable apartments based on the specified criteria.
• Once the suitable apartment is found, it sends out a notification of your preference (email / telegram). Simple as that.
• The important part? You're the first one to see the listing. Quick reaction drastically increases your chances of getting a viewing.
How to use it?
• Create an account (verify your email).
• Submit your preferences.
• (Optional) Adjust the way you prefer to be notified in the settings page: email / telegram.
Who's the author?
• Hi, I'm Paul. You can find me
here.
• I've been living in the Netherlands for quite a while, and I am fully aware how hard an apartment search can be sometimes.
• Would be happy to take this project a step further. So if you have an idea for a collab,
hit me up!Why is it free?
• My initial goal for this project was to learn full stack web development, not make money.
• While it might be monetized in the future, currently I see no reason to make it a paid service.
Donations are welcome though!
Pros / Cons?
• The main advantage (as mentioned above) is that you are the first one that gets to see the rental listing.
• As for disadvantages, the quality of listings found is purely dependent on the data supplied by the landlords / rental agencies. Hence, some of the listings might not exactly match your preferences.
