TheSubletter by Matt Alvarado, Matt Belland, Scott Thomson aims to enhance the sublet search experience by reducing user frustration and displaying relevant listings only. Targeting dealbreakers like location, bedrooms, cost, and dates, the platform caters to scenarios of casual browsing, renter contact, and listing management. Lo-fi features include a simplified side panel, no listing management, nor comparison function, alongside live searching. Upcoming additions entail pop-out maps, canned emails for landlords, additional calculated details per listing, and interactive tiles.

Dealbreakers • Location • Number of Bedrooms • Cost • Dates
Main Scenarios/Personas • Scenarios • Just browsing • Ready to contact renters • Managing • Personas • Stressed out Stan • Look-ahead Larry • Particular Phoebe • Back-Burner Bill
Lo-fi vs. Hi-fi • Simplified side panel • No management of listings • No comparison feature • Live Searching
Things we intend to add • Pop-out map for each listing • Canned e-mails to send to landlords • Additional “calculated” information for each listing • Interactive tiles
