Hey @cridenour! Glad to see you guys are still growing😄 From the tech side, how did you like building in react native? Did you run into any major shortcomings with it on the iOS side?

@seancrowe5 Hey Sean! I loved using react-native. The entirety of our business logic was copied and pasted from casamatic.com with a handful of tweaks at most. From then, it was just building our views, which was easy to get the basics, but hard to get just right. I imagine that's the same with native iOS too though. By far the hardest part was handling all the different touch responders so that you can swipe through photos, scroll the page and swipe the to next property. Went through hundreds of iterations until it felt natural.

@cridenour @seancrowe5 Were you able to do the React Native mobile app without making API changes?

@kicksopenminds @seancrowe5 Yup! That's not to say we weren't continually making improvements to the API or that this didn't highlight certain... unwanted features.. but the web and mobile use the same endpoints.

Seems like a great concept, but any proof it actually works (i.e. are people really finding their dream home via Casamatic)?

My perfect home would be a cheap apartment with just enough space in San Francisco. Could Casamatic help me find this unicorn?

@cjacosta if it was for sale, yes. Our matching algorithm can find the home that's for sale in your price range that's near the stuff you like, the right commute to work, and the right amount of space!

Love the concept. I'd guess you're pretty far from launching anywhere in Europe, but excited to see where this goes! Wondering why when I input European cities into your quiz/get started form, they come up as Presque Isle? I tried Paris, London, & Rome, all with the same result. Very minor bug, but thought I'd point it out!

@paigeelisa Hey Paige. Because we're U.S. only right now, we limit the addresses to the U.S. - I'm guessing Google is trying to "meet you half way" and obviously causing a lot of confusion. We'll see about making this more up front. Thanks!

Buying a home is stressful enough. Wish Casamatic was around 10 years ago when we bought ours! Answers a huge need in the home buying market. Exciting to see the growth @abohw @cridenour!

Hey, Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Alex, co-founder and CEO of Casamatic. We launched our web app last fall in Cincinnati and we're excited to announce that we've brought Casamatic to 6 additional cities so far this year and today, we've appeased our incredibly large audience of mobile users by launching Casamatic for iPhone! Me, along with our team, are dead-set on making the home buying experience awesome for millennials... so let's talk about it! Ask us anything. Oh, and @cridenour (co-founder and CTO) is here too, and he's excited to answer all of your questions about building Casamatic in React and re-using most of the code to create the iPhone app with React Native. :-)

A refreshing new approach to the general tedium of scouring poorly designed real estate websites. Convenience and practicality, with a dash of flair. Keep it up!!
