Interesting. The real estate space just hasn't caught up with search. It's so frustrating we get such little selection when searching for properties. Choosing the angle and compass is better than anything else out there.

Can you add more features? Like, can you search by views/nearby attractions/etc. This has potential to be a really deep dive into area. What about crime rate too?

There's heaps I want to add to it, including view distance, landmarks in views, etc.

It's Australia only for now, which has no crime :P

This is something I made for myself, I've been on the lookout for a house or land to build on in Brisbane with specific orientation and grade (land angle both parallel and perpendicular to the road)

It was useful to me so I figured I'd see if it was useful to others.

Pretty fun little project to build.
