Enter any Australian suburb, city, or postcode and get a curated list of native wildlife you might spot nearby — from kangaroos and quokkas to huntsman spiders and eastern brown snakes. Each animal comes with a danger level, sighting chance, seasonal activity, and spotting tips.
How it works
The user enters an Australian address or city. The app uses GPT-4o-mini to identify the region type (urban, coastal, outback) and current season, then generates a tailored list of wildlife with detailed cards — including danger ratings from "safe" to "deadly", sighting probability, active seasons, and practical spotting advice.

A modular Brisbane rental alert system that finds new listings on Domain.com.au, scores them using a weighted algorithm, and sends the best ones to Discord. Built to make flat-hunting from abroad actually manageable.
How it works
HopHome connects to the Domain.com.au OAuth API to fetch new rental listings in Brisbane. Each listing is geocoded and scored on a weighted scale — factoring in price, distance to CBD, commute time by public transport, and proximity to the coast. New listings are stored in SQLite and the best ones are sent as formatted Discord alerts.
SQLite deduplication — only new listings trigger alerts
Discord alerts with score, price in AUD and CZK, and transport times
Kangaroo sighting chance per suburb 🦘
Current status
Fully functional on mock data. Awaiting production access approval from Domain.com.au — the sandbox environment doesn't allow listing searches. The database reset step will be reverted once production access is granted.
