'Hello, World!'

So, what is Dwellup? It's a search engine for apartments for rent.

I started this because I had a hard time trying to find a good apartment in Montreal that met my criteria.

I was checking multiple sites every day and missing good apartments that were only posted on one platform. Most of the real estate search engines I tried sucked pretty hard.

So I made my own to help me find a place, and find a place I did. Then I decided to fix it up a bit to make it usable for everyone, and here we are.

What Dwellup Does

Multi-platform search. Quebec's rental market is spread across multiple platforms. You can't just check one site and call it done - you have to check them all, or you'll miss good apartments that are only posted in one place. Solved.

AI duplicate detection. The same listing would appear on multiple sites, sometimes reposted daily. Same apartment, same photos, maybe slightly different descriptions or prices. I'd see the same place three, four, five times without realizing it was the same unit. Complete waste of time. Solved.

AI characteristics detection. Landlords skip the checkboxes and write amenities however they want. Parking, utilities, pets, appliances - you can't filter for what you need. AI reads the descriptions and makes everything searchable.

Daily email alerts. New apartments matching your saved searches get delivered to your inbox daily. Stop checking compulsively.

Saved favorites. I used to lose track of listings I wanted to revisit. Now you can just heart them. Come back days later, everything's still there.

Saved searches. Save your search criteria - location, price range, number of bedrooms, all your filters. One click to return to your exact search.

What's Next

This is early. There's a lot I still want to build - better filtering, market price indicators, more features I haven't even thought of yet. But the core stuff works: multi-platform search, duplicate detection, saved favorites and searches, daily alerts.

If you're hunting for a place in Quebec, give it a try. And if something doesn't work right, or you have ideas for what's missing, let me know.

Good luck with your search!
