Yes, I have fond memories of hanging out in their offices above beta house. Amazingly welcoming bunch of people and one of the best things about the Berlin tech scene for me. Hope it works out well for them. I know they were never in it for the money but they deserve a decent payout for their years of commitment.


Nice tool - what tech stack are you using?

I built this with Ruby on Rails and would love to see people using it for projects like what you've done:

https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder

If you are interested in adapting it for your use case let me know and I'll do my best to help.


Cool, I'll check it out but unfortunately, I've never used Rails before! This is made in Node, Express, and Mongo. :)


Introduce yourself here:

https://talk.birmingham.io/

Its a very friendly bunch of geeks - someone there might be able to help. There is a fair amount of tech activity in Birmingham so you could get lucky. Good luck.


Its a great idea but as someone pointed out, it seems more like a feature than a full product. You would also benefit from targeting a specific market.

I create a website builder for the real estate sector and I started off by open sourcing it:

https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder

This gave me some credibility in the sector and I have now been contacted by many people wanting help with their website.

I want to launch a SaaS that focuses on the real estate sector so if you are open to collaborating I'll be happy to discuss that.


Very well presented website - I like it a lot.

Would be interesting to see some reports about the real estate plugins available for Wordpress. I did a quick review myself and did not find any really high quality plugins but would be good to see some more detailed analysis.

This is a short article I wrote about real estate plugins in WordPress:

I got this pull request today and it really makes me wonder if U shouldn't just close down my open source project. For me its the equivalent of someone sticking a finger up at me after eating the free lunch I just gave them.....


I wonder if maybe this person just doesn't understand Git / GitHub and was just trying to remove the credit from their own deployment.

Still a dick move, but maybe not as bad as what it seems.


Yeah, I hope its something like that because if he actually thinks the commit is a good idea then he really is taking the piss.


Not an abandoned project but I really could do with some help on this open source website builder for the real estate sector:

https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder


For anyone looking to build a product that relies on aggregating real estate data I've built an open source web scraper specifically for real estate:

If you decide to open source your project, please share the link here. Thanks


Nice, thanks for sharing! I built a simple scraper and I need to add background processing etc:

Will dig into your code to see what I can learn.
