My Place (Coffee Coders) – Bucharest

Nowadays, when you search online for a place to rent or to buy you face the same problem: you receive all the ads in the form of a list with hundreds, or even thousands of results.

This makes the search more tedious; the user gets frustrated, he wastes time and eventually he has to compromise.

We offer a solution that lets the user decide which are the areas (s)he wants to live in, by selecting the areas directly on a map.

Moreover, the user can receive alerts for the areas selected directly on his/her mobile phone.
