Earlier this week we’ve improved the look of the listing details page. Users can now see more similar listings in the area by scrolling to the bottom of the page. How do you feel about this new feature? We’d be glad to hear from you.
Listing status notifications
We’ve added listing status alerts . Users now can now be notified when their listing is published, featured, flagged or is about to expire:
These and all other alerts can be turned off on the “My Account” page.
Do you have any other suggestions how we can improve our service ? Let us know !

August Usability Update: Sliding Menu
We’ve received several complaints about our mobile navigation menu – it was slow, especially on older phones and would occasionally lock scrolling and . After trying several alternatives to slideout.js we’ve finally rewritten the menu from scratch.
It does no longer lock scrolling and feels snappy event on older phones.

Using AI and Machine Learning to Improve User Safety
Heads up: we’re building a Machine Learning system to fight scam artists.
In the past, we’ve relied on our community and moderators to categorize listings and report suspicious ads. We’ve made great progress by automating most of this work with a flexible rules engine. Today, we’re feeding years of training data into an experimental distributed Machine Learning System to help us scale this process to the next level.
We’ll be posting updates on the progress and some stats as more data becomes available.
Linux+Spring Boot – autostart apps with crontab
I always felt like there should be a better way to autostart spring boot apps on server boot. Wrapping as linux service, editing rc.local, etc – feels like unnecessarily tedious and painful.
Here’s my new favorite:
crontab -eadd:
@reboot /path/to/my/app/run.shWorks like a charm.
