Another important step forward for Wishplace. We have just completed the core implementation for push notifications and the internal chat system. This unlocks real-time interaction between users and makes the platform feel much more alive.

Connecting users in real time

The goal of Wishplace is to create direct connections between buyers and owners. To do this effectively, the communication needs to be instant. We have now closed one of the last major functional gaps before our official launch.

  • Push Notifications: Fully implemented at the code level to alert you of matches.
  • Chat System: Completed at the core level, allowing users to talk directly.
  • Instant Interaction: Real-time communication is now a reality within the app.

Contextual news for your favorite places

We are also finishing a very interesting feature: property-related news. Using SerpApi, the app can now retrieve news related to the properties you own or the wishplaces you have created. This adds daily value to the app, even if you are still waiting for the perfect match.

Because high-quality data can be expensive, I am designing an intelligent system to optimize usage. By caching and reusing results, we can provide users with relevant local signals and market context without unnecessary costs. This keeps you informed about neighborhood changes and price signals in your targeted areas.

Why engagement matters in the inverse market

Wishplace is no longer an app you open and forget. By adding notifications, direct chat, and contextual news, we are creating a reason to stay engaged with the market every day.

Users can now stay informed about their specific buildings or neighborhoods. This ensures that when a match finally happens, you are ready to act with the latest information. It makes the housing search a more active and informed experience rather than a passive wait.

Final steps before the launch

The heavy lifting of the development phase is now mostly done. My focus is shifting toward final polish, testing, and stabilization. We want the experience to be perfect for our first group of beta users.

We are almost there. The dream of a transparent, demand-driven market is just around the corner.
