• Ask HN: What was an interesting project you started and finished over a weekend?

  Not the OP, but I've actually made something like that to help people figure out where to live in London based on the criteria they care about -- here it is https://findmyarea.co.uk/?search_type=areas Would be great to see similar tools for other cities! - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Show HN: Natural language search for real estate with lots of filters

  I've been working on a project that lets you search for properties in London (UK, not Ontario) with a huge number of filters. Property agents in England typically put very little effort into writing useful listings and the dominant search engine, Rightmove, has barely changed in 20 years. So you have to collate information from a lot of sources – and it takes a lot longer than it should – to find properties that... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Pros and cons of living in inner London vs outer london

  For recommendations on areas to live have a look at the wiki - the first few links there let you search by budget and commute time (and Find My Area let's you put in a whole lot of other stuff). You've told us very little on what sort of area you'd like to live in, so hard for us to say anything helpful. Source: about 1 year ago

• Commuting to Mayfair

  Have a look at the wiki - the links right at the top of that page let you search by commute time and budget (and a lot of other factors if you use Find My Area, which was created by a redditor who wanted to provide a solution to these daily threads). Source: about 1 year ago

• Relocation suggested please

  Check the first few links on the wiki - those let you search by commute time and budget. Find My Area definitely lets you put in multiple commute destinations. Source: over 1 year ago

• Quel est le bon endroit pour passer 5 semaines et vivre dans la culture française ?

  To experience a place there's nothing better than staying with the locals. Have you considered Hospex websites such as CouchSurfing or BeWelcome? Source: 12 months ago

• Help needed - World Cycling Championship Aug

  Try the Glasgow group on bewelcome.org - hospitality exchange. There are over 100 hosts in Glasgow. Source: about 1 year ago

• Hi, I am just a guy from Czechia

  That's because they built the site with volunteers and then the founders cashed in and now the site is behind a paywall. Better join bewelcome.org, trustroots.org, or couchers.org. Source: over 1 year ago

• CS keep deleting accounts. Should everyone email them for their data just in case?

  You get kicked out for a variety of reasons - mentioning bewelcome.org sharing a whatsapp number and according to a couchers founder, actively volunteering for another planform (allegedly). Source: over 1 year ago

• German language club

  I know what you mean. The town where I went to uni had several language meet ups that were quite a lot of fun. I never looked for German language clubs specifically, but I am sure you'll be able to find some on meetup.com and bewelcome.org. One-on-one meetings sound like a good idea as well, so maybe check out some tandem websites. Source: over 1 year ago
