thlt··on Show HN: The most beautiful places on earth
I bet both location and scenery are important as you'll consider where to visit first. Wouldn't it great to know somewhere is very beautiful and just close to you ? It is also very helpful when you travel as you don't want to miss any beautiful places near your destinations.

yeah it's pretty useless, I'll change it to district and country where the place belongs to.
thlt··on Show HN: The most beautiful places on earth
it is different in many terms like mostbeautifulplaces.org focuses on the true beauty of that place, that's it. Also it is crowd-sourced, meaning that any one from all over the world can help discover great places on earth.

Hi, Flat for rent/Flat for share is indeed just the category name, info of houses are included in the database too. I reckon this is too misleading, and should be changed soon.

nice to see another tool to search for properties, however hijacking is always not a good way to advertise your service - to be honest.

ah ha, 1.3 is actually 1 :D, some people prefer a smooth transition (like me :D), so this will be taken into consideration.

yup additionally our robots check all the listings very often, even though they might still miss out some of them.

Our approach is collaboration filtering amongst house hunters + machine learning. Keep an eye on this ;).
thlt··on Show HN: Awesome rent search website in the UK
yup this needs to be taken seriously.
thlt··on Show HN: Awesome rent search website in the UK
I think you nailed it. Definitely the way to go.

2) That's absolutely true. We are at the moment like Google for rent and not controlling the data. When the users can post ad on our platform, we definitely notice this point.

Dear MehdiEG, thanks a bunch for pointing them out.

1) We are indeed trying to solve this problem, our approach is collaboration amongst house hunters. Users who found scam/expired properties can report them, then other won't find it. We also intend to integrate AI in this problem. Pls Keep an eye on this ;)

thlt··on Show HN: Awesome rent search website in the UK
yeah this kind of problem does happen in many property sources. At the moment the users can report "Expired ad" so those properties won't appear again. We are brainstorming hard to tackle this tricky problem.

Upgraded, the message now displays much less often :).
thlt··on Show HN: Awesome rent search website in the UK
yeah because the site is under heavy traffic at the moment, we shall upgrade the server with more CPU to handle this, but not right now.

Saved search reference is now in the plan :). Thanks.

thlt··on Show HN: Awesome rent search website in the UK
sure, this is in the plan.

we are taking them from a third party who is a partner with Rightmove which provides APIs for that.
thlt··on Show HN: Awesome rent search website in the UK
yeah because we aggregate data from many different sources like Rightmove, gumtree, oodle, foxton, zoopla, etc, it reasonably has more properties.
