Show HN: Homelander – free desktop app that applies for apartments in Germany

I built Homelander because searching for apartments in Germany was taking too much time.

It collects listings from multiple searches on ImmoScout24 and applies for you. I decided to build it because alternatives were either too techy or too expensive (like 100 euros per months).

I originally built it for myself, then released it as a free and open-source desktop app. The first release got much more attention than I expected, and the project is now at 92 GitHub stars.

It currently supports Mac, Windows and Ubuntu Linux.

I'd be interested in feedback, especially on the UX side and on what would make it more useful for apartment hunters.

Disclosure: as you can see I used AI to make it faster, and for UI, since I am bad at it. But I spent a shitton of time on UX.

PS: I heard some people found apartments using this app, but I must warn - this is a portfolio project and goes against the usage guidelines of IS24.
