I made Nomad List (https://nomadlist.com https://nomadlist.com), which lets you find the best places to live and work. It's a mix between a cost of living index and a community for digital nomads, remote workers and general (modern) travelers.

Hey I'm just wondering. Can I know how do you get the data for those? As in the figure? Great work btw! ps - saw your post in regards to data. Thanks!

Very cool. How is the data curated and validated?
- pieterhg 11y ago
  It's crowdsourced and validated by data moderators. But it'll never be 100% accurate.

Very cool project. What is you tech-stack, if I may ask?

  I don't know his tech stack on that specifically but he did a blog post on how he builds stuff here https://levels.io/how-i-build-my-minimum-viable-products/ https://levels.io/how-i-build-my-minimum-viable-products/

  It's raw html, css, js and php. No frameworks. Just me hand coding everything :)

Very nice. What was your motiviation to give it a go? The lack of options from AirBnB in this segment? I like the idea of your challenge: 12 Startups in 12 Months. (-: Would love to hear how it works out in the long run.

  Airbnb? Umm... how do you mean? My motivation was that I wanted to find places that would be suitable for me to travel to and work, but I didn't want to browse countless of blogs to figure out. I thought approachign it from a data perspective would be easier. The data will always be subjective and never completely accurate, but it can give people an idea. It now seems like the sites inspires people too to start traveling, when they see all the options. That I never expected.

Re: the question of this thread. I've built it by myself and I think it gives me a big advantage. I see a lot of people partnering with co-founders, and then they have to discuss every little new feature. And ego gets involved. And meetings. I just have a meeting in my head before I sleep every night with what I'm going to make the next day. It means I ship faster.

  I have been travelling and using nomadlist for quite some time. Works like a charm to find quick info.
