I just launched my first website — with $0.

It’s called Can I Afford This House? — a free, no-BS calculator for first-time home buyers.

No email. No spam. No upsell.

Just answer.

I built it because every time I Googled “Can I afford a $300k house on $60k salary?” — I got:

Pushy mortgage lenders Sites that wanted my email Clunky bank calculators So I built the tool I wanted.

Built on GitHub Pages (can’t afford a domain yet). Hosted for free. Open to feedback.

Try it: https://nyanguno.github.io/caniaffordthishouse/

Since launching, I’ve: Gotten 130K+ views (before Reddit removed it) Added user-requested features (HOA, maintenance, reverse mode) Learned more about finance, UX, and real estate than I ever expected

I’m not a dev. Not a finance guy. Just a recent grad who shipped something real.

If you’re building something in public, I’d love to connect.

And if you know someone house-hunting — feel free to share it.
