Criblist

Criblist is an open-source rental aggregator for San Francisco and New York City that pools listings from nine sources including Craigslist and boutique property managers into a Tinder-like swipe deck. It eliminates the need to trawl multiple sites by delivering fresh, real-time listings in a mobile-friendly, card-swipe format. The product is free, lightweight, and requires no account, making it a fast alternative to clunky classifieds. Positioned as a side project or proof of concept (likely built by the Context.dev team), it demonstrates how programmatic scraping and a modern UX can solve a painful, frequent task for urban renters. Its business model is unclear and likely non-existent, but it showcases a potential niche for vertical rental discovery tools.
