what’s the name of the sister company? is it available in English? (as a non German speaker in Berlin I have an even bigger problem finding crafts people, let alone negotiate or explain the problem or repair job… but I guess that’s a lot to ask)

p.s. there’s no way to DM on hacker news, unless you leave some details on your profile.

Oh, I didn’t realize that, thanks for the headsup.

The sister company was named Homebell, but I don’t think they’re in business anymore.

I used in live in Berlin too, and yes, figuring these things out without knowing German is probably very difficult. Honestly, I think your best bet is probably to ask a German-speaking friend for help.

oh what happened to them?

yeah we get help, but it obviously adds one more link to an already tricky chain trying to find and coordinate home repair jobs, plumbing etc
