Inlet
A housing platform for college students. I ran into the problem in my own housing search, then designed it, built it and shipped it.

Fair renta listing's rent next to its building's market median
.eduoptional school verification that adds a badge and lifts ranking
The problem
Student subleases live in group chats and scattered posts. It is hard to tell whether a price is fair or whether the person posting is a real student.
A decision I made
School email is optional. Anyone can browse and post; verifying a school email adds a badge and lifts the listing in ranking. Posting stays easy, and trust is still rewarded.
What I built
- A sublease board with search, filters, and list and map views.
- Wanted posts, where students post the dates and budget they need.
- Roommate matching, with profile cards, requests and messages.
- The fair-rent check, which compares a listing's rent with its building's market median, using per-bed rent from public floor-plan data where it exists.
- School-email badges that feed ranking.
- Unit tests with Vitest and browser tests with Playwright; every change goes to a dev build before production.
