Nicely done! Does the footer disclaimer about affiliate links mean that you get a cut from eBay if someone buys through your link? Is that lucrative for a niche like this?
Thanks. Yes, eBay's program is pretty decent: 3% of final sale, max of $550.
Whether it is lucrative or not is TBD. This is mostly an experiment in frontend and affiliate marketing links. I suspect I'll have to learn some content marketing and SEO to really get it in front of the right people.
I’ve actually lived in a coliving space here in LA with a similar coworking and sleeping setup during a transitional period in my life between marriage and separation. The community was great and really supported me but it is definitely a young persons game. 41 is a little old to be sleeping in a pod next to 20 year olds, doing 20 year old things.

I really like the idea of "flight rules" to document common problems and codify how to resolve them. Does anyone know of any other good examples similar to this?
I have a IFTTT script that crawls Craigslist for specific keywords and then it emails me the hits. Craigslist generally has a low signal to noise ratio, but I have landed a few things from there.
