My most recent apartment search in Chicago was awful, and I’ve spent the past couple months trying to find ways to make the process less painful (https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/apartmentscom-red-f..., https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/fast-filter-chicago..., https://github.com/kloovin112358/ApartmentsThatDontSuck).

But one of the most interesting problems with apartment hunting was the lack of technology to help me keep track of the different apartment options I was considering.

Previously I just copy/pasted information from Apartments.com into a spreadsheet, which resulted in me constantly flipping over to Google Maps. But the real kicker came during apartment tours, and I would totally forget the details on the unit I was there to see (and Google Sheets on mobile isn’t particularly user-friendly). Then I would forget what questions I wanted to ask, and leave the tour without complete information.

That’s why I made Casabrix. A spreadsheet interface with maps integration on web, a mobile-optimized view for iOS and Android, and a Chrome extension to scrape Apartments.com or Zillow listings.

I would love your feedback on what features you’d need to see in Casabrix to consider using it.
