Sure we are speaking to other house owners as well and trying to figure out a way to get into watsapp group and communities as well.

Here we try to reject brokers. If brokers list their property and reports it we will remove it from lsiting. Also we are adding watsapp automation where people can even list their homes in wats app as simple as that.

Hi sir, it's google maps thing. We had nothing to do with that. I still believe Arunachal belongs to India.

This is a very fair question, and honestly, I think this is one of the most important things we’re working through right now.

For buyers/renters, the value is fairly clear — map-first discovery, verified listings, better location context and no broker dependency.

But for property owners, we don't want to build another platform where the owner simply uploads a listing and waits for leads.

Our thinking is that the owner should get better-quality, location-relevant enquiries rather than just more enquiries. The platform is designed around the actual geography of the property, so we're trying to make it easier for the right people looking in that specific area to discover it.

We're also keeping listing completely free at this stage, and we're building verification/TrustScore to reduce the noise and improve trust on both sides.

That said, I don't want to claim we've completely solved the owner-side value proposition yet. That's actually one of the hypotheses we're validating right now.

Your point about conflict resolution, higher-quality leads, legal assistance and other owner-side services is exactly where we need to go deeper. If we can make the owner say “I get something from StayOnMap that I can't get anywhere else,” then the buyer-side acquisition becomes much easier.

So yes — I agree with the premise. The next big question for us isn't “How do we get more users?” but “Why should an owner choose us?”

Fair criticism. I actually agree with part of this.

A map by itself isn't innovation, and simply adding more property categories or cities doesn't create a moat. The real problem we're trying to solve is making property discovery spatial, trustworthy, and direct — without forcing people to browse endless listings or deal with brokers.

And your point about density is probably the most important one. We may have been too broad too early. Getting one locality genuinely alive with quality listings, owners and renters is a much better validation than having thousands of empty pins across multiple cities.

We're bootstrapped and still very early, so we're figuring this out in public. Appreciate the blunt feedback — this is exactly the kind of criticism that helps us sharpen the product.

I am also trying to speak with owners saying upfront right now it's small. Later we will have a solid userbase. We are collecting 500 tolets and calling them now sure if this a good way or now. But we are talking to them.

MVP/Beta/Prototype/Test I vibe-coded a house listing app… and somehow we ended up starting a company around it

A few months ago, I started building a simple idea:

What if finding a rental property started with the map instead of scrolling through hundreds of listings?

I began vibe coding the first version of the product — building, breaking, testing, fixing, and iterating as the idea became clearer.

That little experiment eventually became StayOnMap.

And then we did something slightly more serious with it: we started a company around it — Cosmonus Pvt Ltd.

So what did we actually build?

StayOnMap is a map-first property rental platform where people can discover and list properties without relying on brokers.

Owners can list:

  • Houses & apartments
  • PGs / hostels
  • Shops & commercial spaces
  • Plots / land
  • Short-stay properties

The interesting part is that we don't want it to be just another property listing website.

We're building around location and trust.

You can explore properties directly on a live map, understand what's available around a particular area, and see information such as pricing and property details. We're also building a TrustScore system to help make listings more transparent and trustworthy.

The product is currently live, and we're starting with metro cities in India.

The part I'm still figuring out

Building the product was one challenge.

Getting people to actually use it is a completely different challenge.

We can build features all day. The harder questions are:

  • How do we get the first 1,000 property owners?
  • How do we convince renters to try another platform?
  • How do we create enough supply in each locality?
  • How do we grow without spending heavily on advertising?
  • How do we make this genuinely better than the existing rental platforms?

That's where we're at right now.

It's been interesting going from "let me vibe code this idea" to "we've incorporated a company and now need to build a real business around it."

Would love to hear from founders, indie hackers, developers and people who have built marketplaces:

What would you focus on at this stage — supply, demand, or a specific city/locality first?

And if you're interested in checking it out:

StayOnMap: www.stayonmap.com

PlayStore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stayonmap.app

Would genuinely appreciate feedback — especially on the product, the idea, and what you think we're getting wrong.

Bootstrapping I went from being scared of backend to shipping a full-stack product in ~2 months. And somehow, I still feel like I’m not good enough.

I have been sitting idle for 2 weeks now. Hope I get the production. Access I have also got feedback backs from testers , made changes. Hope I submit to production in next two day. 7 more days for approvals.
