Craigslist apartment map view with filters

Craigslist apartment search is most useful on the map view, since after all real estate is about location, location, location, but other factors matter too. For example you probably want to see listings that are reasonably new but not just from today, but the current UI only lets you pick "Listed today" or no filter. This tampermonkey script lets you eliminate listings by a configurable age range.

The script is meant to improve the user experience of searching for apartments using Craigslist.

The website offers users the ability to view listings as a list or on a map. In the list view listings are posted by day which is useful as in many popular locations any decent listing more than a few days old is almost certainly gone. However, given that real estate is 'location location location', the map view is also very handy. Unfortunately the map view either seems to show all active listings regardless of age, or only listings added today. A custom range, say between 0-10 days old, can really narrow down your search.

This script adds some sliders to limit the range, and then processes the data that's already available in the map view, automatically hiding listings that fall outside of the age range so you can manually review just the ones you wanted.
