There’s a lot of garbage on Craigslist — including vowels, apparently. Crgslst cuts to the chase, providing a quick Ajax site that switches between cities and categories on Craigslist with one click. It looks a lot prettier than the real thing, too!
Since there are hundreds of different city pages on Craigslist now, you can save a ton of time by jumping between them within the same search. Crgslst doesn’t allow a simultaneous nationwide search, even though it could easily do so, because that feature has gotten sites shut down in the past. This is the next-best thing, though, and we hope it lasts.
Crgslst has another leg up on the built-in Craigslist search engine because it lets you swiftly save what you’re doing. You can pick up to 10 favorite cities, to avoid having to reselect your city from the map or the popular cities list each time, and you can save interesting listings to a compact sidebar. If the folks at Craigslist do want this site shut down, they could do worse than to steal from its design, which a large improvement on the original.
