As I said, my password has not been used anywhere else. haveibeenpwned.com comes back empty for it.

Can you provide a link to that listing?

I am always looking for apartments with a view so I would like to see how booking one can go so wrong.

    I'm confused what you are trying to build here.

A site that gives you a list of apartments with a view for every major city.

So you first recursively read the code and the code of all the dependencies? And then pin it?

That sounds like a lot of work. Compared to copying/writing 30 lines.

How do you know the pinned version and it's dependencies do not get changed by the maintainers?

It's not about auditing every line of code. It's about a chain of trust.

I can not imagine that the security of Facebooks servers is at the mercy of a chain of anonymous coders.

That sounds scary. That means the security of your system and data is at the mercy of all those maintainers?

I can't imagine any big companies work like that. Execute code on their servers which is under the control of 'somebody from the internet'.

    what's the better way to do it
    copy & paste, or use a package manager 

When you add a dependency, how do you prevent the maintainer of the dependency or any sub- or sub-sub-...dependency to break your system in the future?

Yup. That's why I'll give them a list. So they can chose between the tower and the trees.

Is the direction important to you? Personally, I just want to be able to look over the city. And not have another house in front of me.

At first I will simply go through all listings for each city manually. Looking at the photos and the reviews. And make a list of the ones with a view.

My 'plan' is very simple. It's just a list of links for each city. No community features or anything. Just the links to apartments that I myself found. Features could be added later. But the initial idea is to just put a list of links online. Probably with a line 'If you know about an apartment with a great view you want to share, please send it to ...@...'.

If you like, let me know which apartment it is in Manila and I will happily add it :)

Great! I'm happy I did not completely disgruntle you and you still speak with me. I can be way too undiplomatic at times.

Small market + Hard problem sums up the responses here nicely. I like that! Because I'm not convinced the market is too small. And because I love hard problems!

I wonder what format I should use for my list so I can put it online easily... hmm... It would have to be one list for each city. Maybe I should put it all in one sqlite db and write a script that renders it to static pages, one page for each city?
