Show HN: I built Settle.nz a searchable, daily-updated housing auction database

1 points by mdotk 2 days ago

Hey HN,

I’ve been working on Settle.nz — a clean, searchable, daily-updated database of property auction results across New Zealand.

I come from a WordPress/PHP/HTML background and used Cursor start learning about TypeScript, React and full-stack development.

What it does:

  - Tracks all NZ auctions daily
  - Clean interface with filtering by price, location, status, and date
  - Market dashboards: price trends, suburb comparisons, auction success rates, and heatmaps
  - Agency analytics: see performance by region and over time
  - Email digests: daily/weekly summaries

Under the hood:

  - Next.js 14 (App Router) + TypeScript
  - Tailwind CSS, Headless UI, Recharts, Mapbox
  - Supabase for DB/RPCs, Prisma for some internal data
  - Redis (Upstash) for sitemap/cache
  - Mailgun for transactional email
  - Hosted on Vercel

It's been one heck of a learning curve! Any feedback or suggestions much appreciated.

Also, I realise that being a New Zealand focused site, the content won't have much direct relevance to the audience here, but I thought from a technical / AI coding perspective some of you might find it interesting nonetheless.

Thanks!
