athome-scraper VS homegate-rs

I've received a PR suggesting just that [0], my concern is

> Only thing that concerns me is that it will spawn n parallel requests to the website which could consume a lot of memory since we're talking about spawning a new tab with Puppeteer (Chrome :sigh:) for each link.

Interesting article: I did something similar but for Zürich (finding a low-price, but good apartment there is almost impossible).

I did follow a different approach though, and reverse engineered the APIs of the most common rental listing websites here.

I didn't publish the code (or better said, I didn't make it public), but it's similar to yours. Instead of SQLite I used a PostGis database where I stored the apartments with their point to point public transport distance from my office (pre-covid search). I did it in Rust.

Whilst the application is not available to the public (yet), all of the libraries I've created are now available.

I should have both a Rust and a Golang version for most / all of them.

On a side note, I did a similar project (scraper + visualizer / search) for finding a job for my girlfriend by scraping LinkedIn, Xing and a couple of other local job posting websites.
