Home Tales

Side project

Full-stack

Marketplace

Home Tales is a house-sitting marketplace we designed and built as a side project. Homeowners list their home and pets, and sitters browse, apply and message them through the site.

Built on trust: Members are ID-checked before they can message, sitters are trained, and owners can tip a sitter afterwards.
Built end to end: Design and front end first, then the API, database and hosting, all done in-house.
Stack: Vue, Node and PostgreSQL, hosted on DigitalOcean.
