We're looking for a Senior full-stack developer to help build the future of GetAgent. We're transitioning to Next JS and have some exciting new products in the roadmap too.

petertb··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (January 2019)
GetAgent | Full stack web (javascript) | London, UK | Onsite | Fulltime | https://www.getagent.co.uk

GetAgent uses property sales data to objectively rank estate agents, allowing homesellers to make an informed decision. We're growing 5x annually, driven by a substantial TV advertising campaign.

This is an exciting job for anyone who wants to help develop a product that aims to simplify homeselling - a hugely stressful process. We have a small (but growing!) technical team so you would have substantial control (and responsibility) very quickly.

petertb··on Value your home by comparing to your neighbours' (UK)
We use the area average growth price. But the idea is we are looking at properties that sold very recently, so the rise in price is not such an issue.

This link was posted here a few days ago. Nice looking site and vid.

The big drawback is (apparently) the app mimics your computer lock screen - i.e your computer is not actually locked, just the app has gone fullscreen and makes it look locked. Not sure about security implications?
