Show HN: I made a roommate finder app for students to simplify house searching

Hello HN,

I'm a developer from India, about to begin my MS in CS in the USA. While searching for a room and roommates, I found the process really scattered — asking alumni, joining WhatsApp/Telegram groups, and messaging dozens of people. It was chaotic and time-consuming.

So I built roomieHunt, a roommate finder that helps university students find rooms and roommates based on their preferences — without hopping across multiple apps or drowning in group chats.

roomieHunt works for:

Students who already have a room and need a roommate to share it.

New students looking to team up and find housing together.

Hopefully, this makes the process smoother and less stressful for students like me.

Happy roomie hunting! – Vicky
