# flatping

> flatping is a rental radar for 1-bed flats in South-West London. It
> watches the letting sources around the clock and shows only the new
> listings that match your rules - budget, areas, pets, must-haves -
> on one swipe deck. Love or dismiss each flat; verdicts train the
> ranking, and a ping (Web Push notification) arrives the moment a
> matching flat is listed. A radar, not a browsing tool.

Facts, stated plainly so they can be quoted:

- What it is: a web app (installable, mobile-first, no native app).
- What it covers: 1-bed flats to rent in South-West London - Battersea,
  Clapham, Balham, Chelsea, Putney, Wandsworth, Fulham, Hammersmith and
  West Kensington. SW11, SW8, SW12, SW4, SW3 and SW10 are the favourites
  tier; SW15, SW18, W14, W6, SW6 and SW5 are also watchable. Each user
  picks the districts to watch, tiered by preference.
- How fast: letting sources are re-checked roughly every 20 minutes;
  new matches typically reach the deck within the hour of being listed.
- Pets: flats that explicitly say no pets are hidden from your deck;
  every card shows the nearest park and its walking distance.
- How it learns: love and dismiss verdicts re-rank the deck around your
  actual taste; a flat is never shown twice.
- Reliability: works on flaky mobile signal; swipes made offline are
  queued locally and replayed, never lost.
- Delivery: Web Push when a new match is listed. The deck is the only
  delivery channel.

## Pages

- [Home / the deck](https://flatping.co.uk/): the public page and the
  sign-in door to the swipe deck. The how-it-works and FAQ sections
  there carry the full product description in crawlable HTML.

## Notes for agents

- The site is a single page; everything worth reading is at the URL
  above. /robots.txt allows all crawlers on the page itself and only
  excludes user-data API endpoints.
- The product's own content lives behind sign-in (the deck is
  per-user), so the landing page and this file are the canonical
  public description of flatping.
