Hi everyone,

During our time studying at the University of Queensland, we really struggled to find a place to rent. Most available rentals were either already taken, hidden in scattered Facebook posts, or never made it to the big listing websites at all. It was frustrating, especially as newcomers without a local network.

To help others avoid the same experience, we鈥檙e working on a small, non-commercial project to make informal and hard-to-find rentals in Brisbane more accessible. The platform brings together listings from Facebook groups, forums, Gumtree, and other sources into one place, with customizable filters and real-time alerts.

At this stage, we鈥檙e looking for a few people to test the early version and share feedback 鈥� what works, what doesn鈥檛, and what would make it more helpful.

It鈥檚 completely free, and there's no signup required to test it.

If you're based in Brisbane (or planning to move soon) and interested in helping out, feel free to send me a message. We鈥檇 really appreciate your input.

Thanks!
