Ohhh. I want this for my area. Great idea.
If you email shitty@openlistings.co with your city I'll let you know when we come to your area (that goes for everyone). We're going for full California coverage in the next month or so.

#12This site is completely blank with noscript on.
These days I don't have much of a problem ignoring the "javascript disabled" demographic.

Looks like there's problem with the scraper version, but feel free to take a look if you're on your Nokia N900 and don't have JS: http://www.shittylistings.com/?_escaped_fragment_=

Because they're shitty?

#16Crazy that “shitty” listings in California are $500k and up.
Indeed, property values in CA are insane right now. Here's a super nuts one... this piece of undeveloped land is going for $1809/sqft https://www.openlistings.co/p/427-14th-st-santa-monica-ca-90...
That said, by "shitty" I don't mean bad or cheap, just that the value would be boosted a lot if it was fixed up.

I don't disable javascript, only some externally loaded scripts. Anything loaded from the same host is allowed.
I expect some sites not to work fully, but completely blank is unexpected.

And?
It is a webapp, those require javascript. The fact that you do not like it is not really relevant.

Hosting external javascript allows sites to load faster and it is easier for the developers so that strategy isn't going to last much longer.

Ah, sorry about that. I agree there should at least be an error message.
We originally built this as a page on openlistings.co (/fixers), but then found this awesome domain. The assets are all the same from openlistings.co, we're just checking the current domain in our Backbone.js router. Kind of hacky, but it was the quickest way to get it up! Also, if you click any of the detail pages you need the rest of the assets anyway because it takes you back to openlistings.co. Long story short, it's pulling in assets and doing API calls to openlistings.co.
