I made an unofficial companion map for West Seattle Garage Sale Day with category filters, more flexible search, favorites and shared lists
Heyo, I just bought a house in West Seattle and was told about Garage Sale Day by multiple people. I've lived in Seattle for 12 years and somehow this is my first time hearing about it! I’m definitely going to check it out but browsing through 600+ listing descriptions is overwhelming.
The official map is helpful but I wanted a way to browse with some categories and easily keep track of places I wanted to check out. So I made a little web app that tries to categorize the listings based on their descriptions (it’s not perfect 😅), has more flexible and fuzzy search, and let’s you favorite places and create and share lists. Everything is open source and it’s just a static page with the data & lists stored in your browser.
I’m not associated with the organizers at all, just thought I would share in case anyone else might find it useful as they plan for this weekend.
