yeah that times calculator is awesome...some crazy math in there. seems like maybe after bolstering the current stuff we could maybe work on implementing a whole different calculation paradigm...I've tried out the times one... my thoughts on pros and cons of nyt calculator... pros: -it requires no external information about rooms -it captures how people feel about each room -requires no prior agreements or external work (it's self contained as opposed to part of a larger offline process) -includes some really awesome math cons: -it might be incredibly time consuming with a much larger house for everyone to go room by room iteratively, -if there are enough rooms, and many people don't know much about some of them, then they can't make educated guesses about what they would pay for rooms they know little or nothing about -assumes everyones judgements about each room are of equal weight
🚨 Scope creep alert! 🚨
I was playing around with the tool, and I realized that I didn't even know the square footage for each room.
I heard of this rent calculator, which requires no technical knowledge, and found myself wanting to use it. The issue is that it only have 8 rooms max, and therefore not suited to some communal houses.
The app could offer various rent calculation methods.
