Version 4.0

• Now entirely uses reverse-engineered and customised GraphQL API queries for Hemnet. Has all interesting information so no need to look at the Hemnet page at all.
• Built in viewing / filtering based on upcoming visnings
• Photo modal with thumbnails and side-by-side Planritning.
• Loads some lantmäteriet maps in the main map view if selected.
• Automatic translation of Hemnet description text (set language in config)
• Buttons to link out to various maps, including Lantmäteriet (satellite + tomt boundaries)
• Better colouring of markers based on ratings
• Easier filtering, removed range and now entirely text based
• Fixed annoying 100% height map bug, so no need to reload to get it right
• Front end UI to pull in Hemnet saved searches, so now zero need to do anything in database manually for initial setup.

This has now got so good that using the main Hemnet website is a really frustrating experience.

Version 3.0

Another major release, due to a large amount of code rewriting. More digging into how the Hemnet website works has led to some reverse engineering of APIs allowing me to query data in a more efficient way, instead of just scraping a bunch of web pages. This means that it's much faster to update.

The interface has also had a lot of tidying up and now runs through the one front-end. Stuff has been moved around and generally refined a lot through use. It's now getting close to not really needing the Hemnet website at all - nearly all of the information on the house listing pages is now shown in the sidebar when clicking a map marker.

Version 2.0

Complete rewrite, now with a basic API written in PHP and a front-end written in AngularJS.

Everything is a lot more stable now, and everything is saved in the database in a much safer way. It's also a lot more powerful with a bunch of new features and a nicer UI.

Most importantly, it is hopefully possible for a mere mortal to read and understand the code. This means that I can now add new basic features without fear of having to enter the tangled web of interconnected custom JQuery promises that was version 0.1.

Version 1.0

Initial working version of hemnet-commuter, built using the Hemnet search RSS feed and Google Maps geocoding and maps.
