• advertise apartments
• view self dashboard - includes personal info & statistics (need to decide on details)

in any case, any visitor is allowed to view the current uploaded ads, and use the search tool (should be on main page).

Question: what is the login mechanism used for?

@alonttal
The above are suggestions for the discussion which will be held in the next meeting with the entire team & the client. The chosen suggestions will be described in a dedicated issue and will be assigned to one of the team members.
In my point of view, the client / we might want to store information about the user (e.g - the apartments the user posted and user email for notifications - both can be edited by the user so we have to identify & authenticate the user = login. Again - it's open for a discussion.

@alonttal Done.

We should have the obvious features of every apartment i.e.

1. Total number of rooms and how many of those are available
2. Number of bathrooms and showers
3. What furnitures every room comes with (bed, closet, desk...)
4. what furnitures are in the living room and what appliances are in the kitchen

In addition we should have an option to add pictures of the apartment.
And the feature that will set us apart from other apartment finding services will be that we will have a short description about every existing resident.

from roommates.

In addition we should have the description about every resident be organized and with that we can try to create a matching algorithm. Meaning when a resident would describe himself in addition to free text there would be checkboxes he can check like:

I like to:

1. Travle
2. Cook food
3. Play an instrument
4. Play sports
   And others...
   And choose if he's a student and what he studies.

Then when a new user enters the website he can create his profile and we will have a matching algorithm (like a dating site) recommend the best apartments for him.

the must have features are details in the HLD #31
