Show HN: I brought back Airbnb categories
I miss airbnb categories. It was fun and I loved being able to just browse thorugh cool listings. I'm not exactly sure why they removed it. Then, a couple weeks ago, they hit me with some A/B test and I had access to a "what" freeform textbox to custom filter results. Now apparently they removed that too.At this point, I wasn't happy - so I decided to look into how to bring it back. I noticed...

yes, you're correct — in this case however, the platforms themselves do most of the work to define what a community is for them (some platforms, like bluesky, don't have the concept of communities _yet_) - I just collect them...
in general though, the goal of this tool is the one you're describing: aggregating communities that have the same topic/niche across different platforms
Show HN: I collected 70k online communities – semantic search to find your niche

I built a social listening agent (yes, like everyone and their grandma). along the way though I realized one of the most useful parts was just finding the right communities. so I started saving them and now i have ~70k.then I added semantic search so you can find communities by meaning. the dataset grows as people use the platform.how it works- free accounts: semantic search the already saved...
Show HN: An interactive dashboard to explore NYC rentals data
https://leaseswap.nyc/analytics
historically, rentals in NYC have been pretty wild. the median 1BR in West Village as of July 2025 cost $5,750/month. about a month ago, NYC passed a law to ban broker fees which many predicted would have increased rents. I realized I had access to some original data from a previous project so I built a dashboard to help me visualize the changes and see for myself.you can filter by...

Right I guess NYC is a very unique market in that but good point, thanks.

So for the comps section it looks for properties in a 1-mile radius. For the market data, that's based on your zipcode. Hope this helps.

Definitely- the AI-summary part still needs a lot of work. Thanks for the feedback.

Yes, some of the data is already available on Zillow. The idea is to aggregate a few different data sources and then turn it into a more digestible and holistic property analysis if that makes sense.

Yes, crime data is from the FBI crime database, market data, and some of the property historical data and school data are from some other vendors.
I initially had only the comments and price predictions, then added the analysis around it. I need to add more discoverability for comments to pick up though.

Lol. I used to have a modal till yesterday that asked users to login with Google then removed it as I figured it was just extra friction; didn't realize it was this much of a red flag for websites... I'll readd it, thanks for the feedback.

It shouldn't unless you're on mobile from what I've noticed. Will take a look.

Good idea, thanks.
Didn't know people would get this triggered by this UX pattern tbh. I had it before with a modal that prompted the user to login but figured this might just be easier / faster?
I'll readd the modal though.

Hey HN,I love scrolling through Zillow and spend way too much time thinking a property is gonna be my next home just to find a couple of days of research later what’s the catch.I built this property analyzer to get a quick overview of “the good, the bad, and the ugly” (love spaghetti westerns) for the property. In ~30-45s you get a pretty comprehensive analysis of the history, risks, and...
Show HN: Masterkey – A TurboTax-like platform for self-service home buying
Hey HN- Masterkey founder here. It’s 2025, and while we’re supposedly on the cusp of AGI, we still buy houses as if it’s 1925. A recent Fed study [1] found the typical 3% buyer-agent commission is inefficient (shocker) and costs American homebuyers $35B every year. That seemed broken to me, especially at a time where a whole generation is struggling to buy homes in the first place, so I built...

Wait what? Unless there's a bug it should show more after the first hint. Hints go like this:
1. First pic + BR/baths count 2. Rest of the pics 3. Neighborhood 4. Special features

Yeah fair it's honestly more for fun that anything else so I actually put realistic data from all over the spectrum - the listings are updated every day do and some are wildly expensive

Uh, oh. Taking a look, sorry about that. What error are you getting? In the meantime, you can email me at giulio at searchbase.dev and I can add you manually.

Scalable pricing is one of the core issues we encountered with existing search solutions. While the details for pricing are still TBD, we do want to make sure to lower the barrier to entry to that earlier-stage startups have a simple and affordable way to integrate their first search solution.

Good point. While the visual query builder is meant to be more like a playground to play around while crafting your queries, at the end of the day it just provides you with an API request body (json) that can also be hand-crafted. The VQB is also a way to craft and save query “aliases” with their own permissions.
Analytics: our painpoint with a few other search solutions was a lack of out-of-the-box insights for user behavior and common searches. We’re addressing this with Searchbase

Searchbase also supports user-defined ranking; the user can provide keyword, geo-distance, and number “ranking modifiers” each with their own “weight”. (Similar to elasticsearch’s “RANK” filters).
