Hack #7: v0 · v0
7 May, 13:29
CribSwipe takes Craigslist, the most aggressively ugly apartment listing site on the internet, and reimagines it as a Tinder-style swipe experience for NYC apartment hunting. Craigslist hasn't meaningfully changed its UI since the 90s. Blue links, dense text, no images on the index, a layout that punishes you for wanting somewhere to live. CribSwipe keeps the exact same content (NYC apartment listings) and rebuilds the entire interaction model from scratch. The redesign: The text-wall index becomes a full-bleed swipe deck: photos, price, neighborhood, key amenities at a glance Filtering happens through voice conversation instead of dropdowns and checkboxes The whole UI was built in v0 The audio layer: Meet Vinny, a fast-talking virtual realtor powered by ElevenLabs Conversational AI. Tell Vinny what you want ("two bedroom under 4k in Brooklyn, no walkups, dogs okay") and he filters the deck for you. He has opinions. He will roast your budget. He sounds like he's been showing apartments in Bay Ridge since 1994. The conversation drives the filters. The filters drive the deck. You swipe right on the place, not the realtor. Stack: v0 for the full UI rebuild ElevenLabs Conversational AI for Vinny using multiple real-time tools, context updates, and prompt overrides. Static Craigslist listings (live scraping would violate their TOS, but a real version would pull live data) Try it: cribswipe.com
